While I was in Canada at the “Studies in Powder” class. One of my favorite topics when we all talked was about our favorite fused glass books. Bob recommended the book “Steal Like an Artist” by Austin Kleon. It’s a tiny little book […]
I love my molds – I’m pretty addicted to them. Which is why I’m using a mold each month, that I haven’t used before, and posting a blog to show it off. I especially love the textures. So July’s Fused Glass Mold is a Sun. One place I get my […]
In my last fused glass blog I wrote about how great the ladies were in my class with Bob Leatherbarrow (including Liesbeth). For this blog I wanted to talk about Bob and the glass itself. As I mentioned before, I will not provide any secrets. Bob teaches and will be […]

For today’s blog I wanted to write about one of my new fused glass obsession. It’s called Fused glass pebbles. I took a fused glass boot camp class from one of the best fused glass artists / instructors I know. Her name of course is Tanya Veit. I’ve blogged about […]
