This month, I had the absolute pleasure of hosting another advanced fusing class with Jim, Julie, and Cindy—three talented artists who each have their own kilns and a real passion for pushing their skills to the next level. I love working with this group because they’re always ready to experiment, […]
I have the following classes available in April. In the photos you’ll see show only a small sampling — there are truly a myriad of possibilities, including pieces perfect for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Birthdays, and more. Every class allows plenty of flexibility so you can personalize your project and […]
I’ve mentioned some of my advanced classes before, but this one is all about Christine and Kayla. They took classes with me a while back and loved fusing so much that they bought their own kiln! Recently, they reached out wanting to dive deeper into firing schedules and really understand […]
I had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Kim and Karmen back into the studio for another fused glass class—and let me tell you, these two never disappoint. They’re both incredibly talented, and it’s always exciting to see what they’ll create next. Even though they’re seasoned students, we still start the […]
Easter is such a fun time to create bright, cheerful glass pieces, and these large fused glass eggs were a joy to make. I created four larger eggs that can either be displayed on a stand or hung as decorations. Each one has its own little springtime scene filled with […]
Here are two molds for March, there’s something really satisfying about how a mold can influence a piece without completely taking it over. For this heart, I chose a round, shallow textured mold—leaning into contrast rather than matching shapes. One of the things I love about working with molds is […]
One thing about being a fused glass artist — you start seeing opportunities to add glass to just about everything. I love incorporating glass into everyday objects like mirrors, nail files, spoons, business card holders, and anything else I can think of. It’s a fun way to turn something ordinary […]
At the end of last month, I had a wonderful class with two new students, Julie and Christa, along with a returning student, Glenda. We began the class the way I always do — by reviewing studio safety and completing the required liability forms. Once the paperwork was taken care […]
I ran out of time in February to highlight some of the molds I used throughout the month, so I thought I’d circle back and start with the one that inspired several of the pieces I created. This mold first appeared in my January projects, and it quickly became one […]
I’ve blogged many times about my fused glass votives — also known as handkerchief vases — and for good reason. I truly love making them. Over the years, I’ve created a wide variety of styles, colors, and designs, and each one feels a little different from the last. From soft […]
I absolutely love hosting private fused glass classes with returning students. They already know what to expect, they understand the basics, and we can dive right into creating without hesitation. There’s a comfort and ease in those classes that feels so natural. This was one of those days. Kim has […]
I had fabulous class this month with Kendra, Nicki, and Erin— all new to fused glass. I always love welcoming beginners into the studio. There’s something special about that first experience. As always, we began by reviewing studio safety and completing the required liability forms. Once the paperwork was handled, […]
This month I had such a wonderful class with two new students, Ashley and Anita, along with a returning student, Glenda. I always love that mix — fresh excitement combined with growing confidence. We began the day the responsible way: reviewing studio safety and completing the required liability forms. Once […]
I’ve shared a few posts about my Advanced Reactions class before, but this one had its own special kind of chaos — the good kind. I set things up a little differently than usual. Right when they walked in, the liability forms and the table was covered in molds. Not […]
