This was a special class for a special student. While I normally teach using 96 COE glass, this class was unique. Cindy, who has taken several classes with me in the past, asked if we could work with 90 COE glass again. She had previously enjoyed a one-on-one 90 COE […]
Normally when people give glasses, they keep to a common subject i.e., ornaments, dishes, casting, etc. But not me, wait until you see all of the things my students made in this fused glass class. As always, I like to show my setup for the students, including their supplies e.g., […]

I’ve been giving a lot of classes and I’m really loving it. On the 3rd of February I had a combination Casting and Pocket Vase Class. It’s funny most classes people make the same thing i.e., dishes, ornaments, pendants. Well, I have several students who are advanced and like to […]
Last week I had two of my favorite students ask to make some casted hearts. Since I have a minimum of three students, we invited two of my friends who have wanted to take a class, to take the class too. Here are some pictures of the class setup. I […]
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 was supposed to be one of the artists in October’s show at the Sangre De Cristo 3rd Street Gallery in Westcliffe. However, I missed the intake for the Changing Seasons show Oct 5–Nov 13. However, I went for the reception anyway and spoke with Liz, she let me put […]
Last month I visited the Sangre De Cristo 3rd Street Gallery in Westcliffe and told them about my art glass. I wasn’t able to make it in time for the September show, but they gave me the information to have my three of my glass art pieces for the October […]
I love flowers. In fact, last year when we drove over Grand Mesa, I must have made my husband stop 1000 times so I could take pictures of the flowers. When we went to Westcliffe last spring, I literally must have taken hundreds of pictures of flowers. And of course, […]
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 […]
One of my friends and loyal customers is moving out of Colorado next month and as a gift I made her a very special fused glass “aspen” nightlight special in it doesn’t look like my “normal” aspen nightlights. As you can see I added a lot of dicrohic dots, a heart, […]
I’ve taken several Glass Mosaic classes with Cathy. This one was interesting because it was a zoom class. I’ve taken a few fused glass zoom classes. I just love the interaction with other glass artists. Here are my mosaic aspen leaves. I really like them. In addition to doing the […]
In order to do well in the art community you have to get into shows. The best shows are typically juried. To get into those shows you have to have great photographs. The jury looks at the pictures to decide what handmade items are the best and allowed into the […]
I’m not sure if I mentioned it already, but a couple of months ago I had a customer asked me if I could turn my fused glass green-man into a mantel sconce like my Aspens. Then at my last show I had another customer ask me if I could turn […]
