As I’ve mentioned several times I love learning new techniques in fused glass. One fused glass instructor that has been on my list since I began fusing, is Patty Gray. I was lucky enough to attend her 3 day workshop in Denver and what made it even better is one […]
This past weekend I had a booth at the Smoky Hills HS in Aurora. I had a good time talking to my fellow vendor (who makes amazing fudge) and made some new friends as well. I had several people sign up for my newsletter / enter my $25 Fused Glass […]
During my shows I’m always asked if I have my fused glass in any stores. The answer is yes. I have some of my work in a wonderful little shop in Denver called Tulip – Exquisite gifts / fantastic finds. This is a wonderful little shop and has a myriad […]
It’s that time of year where I participate in several Arts and Craft bazaars where I sell my fused glass artwork. Last week I announced the winner of the Sugar plum gift mart (Sharon C). This weekend I participated in Coronado’s Holiday Bazaar. I must admit since so many of […]
Just a quick blog on a few of my fused glass rings. I have fused glass rings in copper, gunmetal, silver plated, and silver. Most of my fused glass rings are adjustable and can fit anyone. If you would like a ring changed to steriling silver there is an extra […]
This past weekend I had a booth at the Sugar Plum Food & Gift Mart at the Colorado Event Center. I had a lot of wonderful friends come by and I also made some new friends as well. What a great time; I had some fabulous conversations, made some amazing […]
When I was at Bob Leatherborrow’s workshop in Canada earlier this year I had the opportunity to use a wet-belt sander. I must say I loved using it for the edges of bowls and plates. Bob gave us some pointers to make it even easier so I really wanted one. […]
One thing about me is I like to check a place out before I truly commit. I did that with Leslie (of course it only took me minutes to decide she was amazing), I did that with Aquila, and I did that with Live, Love, […]
While in Portland I also visited Aquila Art Glass studio. I met Don, one of the owners. He was very gracious and showed me his working studio. Not only do they teach fused glass they also teach flameworking. More than teaching […]
During my trip to Portland for my bullseye workshop I also went to a Uroboros factory. I’ll be honest I didn’t know anything about Uroboros until I took this tour. Ken was extremely helpful and so was Carmen. Ken gave us (there were 3 of […]
So while I was at the bullseye factory in Portland we got the once in a lifetime opportunity to cast / make our own glass! I’ve done a lot of fun things with glass but this was the most fun and exciting thing I’ve ever done. It was also a […]
I received a request for another commercial fused glass order and they wanted industrial looking these are a couple examples that I chose. I like it when I’m asked to create different types of fused glass for commercial orders. It makes it a little […]
While we were at bullseye we also got to tour the bullseye owner’s house. One thing I loved was the owner was one of the original partners from 1974! That is so cool to me. They like to do tours so people can see how to […]
On Monday I started blogging about my bullseye trip, so today’s blog is going to talk about the techniques we used in the workshop. Our class was a special class created for bullseye glass distributors students “Explore Bullseye Workshop”. Our class was with Tanya Viet because we are all students […]
