During May, I had the pleasure of welcoming Mary and her daughter Julia to my studio for a special mother-daughter fused glass class. I always enjoy classes like these because they create an opportunity to spend quality time together while making something beautiful. From the moment they arrived, it was […]
During May, I had the pleasure of welcoming three new students to my studio—Sheryl, Matt, and Jutta. One of my favorite things about teaching fused glass is introducing people to the art form for the very first time and watching their excitement grow as they discover all the possibilities glass […]
There’s something really special about a class that brings together both experienced glass artists and brand-new beginners. My morning class was the perfect mix! Kim and her daughter Brittney are seasoned fusers who are always ready to jump into creative ideas and try new techniques, while Aimee and Chris were […]
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 […]
What a fun class this was! Three ladies joined me, each tackling a project that was a little on the challenging side. Like every class, we started with the basics—safety reminders and liability forms—before moving on to one of my favorite parts: handing out free gifts. Students got to choose […]
What a fun class this was! We had two brand-new students, Christine and Lisa, joining us, along with two of seasoned fusers, Cindy and Kim. Just like every class, we kicked things off with a safety talk and the liability forms, making sure everyone was comfortable and ready to create. […]
Last year, I was in Korea during the Woodland Park Mountain Arts Festival and sadly had to miss it—but not this year! I was so thrilled to be back for the 40th anniversary of this wonderful event, and I’m so glad I made it. The festival is held in Memorial […]
As those who follow me know, I typically do 3 craft shows a year, this year because of my new job I’m only able to do one, Rampart High School. I participated in the Rampart High School Arts and Craft Show earlier this month. I always love talking about and […]
We spent an entire week in Westcliffe and I have to tell you it was wonderfully relaxing. Our Christmas was quite and simple. I love the little tree. The presents we get are typically for the house. The first row of photos are two of the pictures we hung in […]
I have several of my smaller fused glass art pieces in the 3rd Street Gallery in Westcliffe. The show is called Festival of Art, it features a one-of-a-kind art and is focusing on “smaller artworks for the gift-giving season”. The gallery is also having two People’s Choice awards and two […]
I love glass. I love getting it for myself and I love giving it as gifts. This year I gave small glass dishes and magnets to my co-workers. I put a lot of thought into each one, thinking about what each person likes. Here are the magnets. I made each […]
I had my last craft show of the year 4-5 December. It was a great show. I got to see some old friends and meet new ones. Thank you for everyone who came by. I really like Doherty because it’s 2 days and much easier on my body with set […]
Tulip Gifts and Cards is a wonderful shop that carries my fused glass. I’ve had my fused glass with Tulip since 2015. They support local artists. Tulip is having a meet the artist on 2 Oct (1300-1500) and have invited me to attend along two other artists. The two other […]
This month when I was putting away some of my fused glass artwork from my art show, I realized some of my dishes had round bottoms. I like it dishes that are what I call kinetic (move), but some people don’t. So I took some of my favorite molds and […]
