I participated in the Rampart High School Arts and Craft Show this month. I always love talking about my glass. I held a drawing for those who signed up for my newsletter – the winner is Margaret. She can choose her $25 worth of free fused glass at my Doherty […]
Last month I had a commercial order for a small hotel in California. I’ve been making soap dishes for this hotel for several years. She’s always been understanding when I run out of the normal glass I use for her so we’ve changed the colors a few times. This time […]
I really love giving fused glass classes. Two people who have taken classes with me before asked me if their daughter could take a class with them. I’ve been a bit concerned about giving a class to children under 18 (glass cuts), but since Jeremy and Julie have taken two […]
Normally my fused glass class minimum is 3 students. However, I have made exceptions for example, the class with Merle and Kathy (she wanted to make several things which is difficult with a lot of students) and when Merle wanted 8 different standing trees. So, when my friend Cheryl said […]
You know one of my favorite things about Art, including fused glass, is it can represent a cause that you believe in. I created a sconce for my mom, I created a gift for my nephew’s retirement, and I made the pendants and magnets for “I Believe in You”, etc. […]
My nephew, Rocky, just retired from the Air Force. He served 22 years just as I did. I’m so proud of him and I wanted to create something to commemorate his retirement. I created custom screen prints and then created this beautiful iridized white sconce. It’s kind of perfect timing […]
First, I want to let y’all know I will NOT be at Liberty’s craft show. For that show I have to set up, hold the show, and tear down in 1 day and that’s just too much for me and my old body. Second, I will not have a home […]
I had a scheduled fused glass ornament class recently, however, I also hold private classes as long as there are 3 people in the class. Brenda, the person who encouraged me to give fused glass classes to begin with, asked for a private fused glass ornament class for her and […]
I conducted a Fused Glass ornament class this month. I hope Chris, Julie, and Jeremy had as much fun as I did. The three of them also took a small dish class with me a few weeks ago and I showed them some sample ornaments and they signed up for […]
I will have a Fused Glass Home Show on 8 October 0900-1600. Anyone who comes to one of my home shows will receive a free fused glass gift – no purchase necessary. My home shows are a lot of fun because I normally have more available than my official shows […]
It’s time to get ready for the holidays with this fun fused glass ornament class. I’m having a fused glass ornament class in my home on 9 Oct from 12:00 to 14:00. No experience is necessary. With my instruction/guidance through the fused glass process you will create two fused glass […]
Last Saturday, I had a wonderful small dish fused glass class. I really like the small group and we had lots of fun, and they did a fabulous job. Believe it or not there is a lot of prep work to get ready for a fused glass class, even for […]
In July I wrote a post about my fused glass sugar castings. In that post I said I couldn’t attach them to other things. Well, that turned out not to be accurate. I used some of the smaller ones on flower stakes. I really like them. You can still see […]
My good friend Tracy and her friend Geri came over for an impromptu Fused Glass Christmas Tree Class. We had a good time. They used vitrigraph, dots, and did a fabulous job. We made several and they gave me some recommendations for additional color of trees. The first one is […]
