As you know my blogs for January are focusing on my fused glass class with Patty Gray. As with the other fused glass technique I’ve written about this month I love this technique. Patty calls it jaws and I really like it. It’s fun and easy and I think it’s […]
Last year I took a class in New York and blogged about it. I didn’t finish one of my fused glass bowls. I finally finished it and thought I’d post the final picture. When I left class I left it as a shallow dish. But the next step would make […]
I love fused glass one of the fun ways to actually create unique glass is to create confetti glass. I put clear and colored glass, along with stringer, frit, etc. in a shape and fire it until it’s fully fused. I love confetti glass because it’s truly one of a […]
There are so many ways to create fused glass bowls. A new way I recently learned is called slurry’s because you create it using wet glass powder. I also added frit and vitrigraph. It’s great because you can add various colors and make various designs. These are 4 that I […]
I’m still preparing for my up coming show, so I’ve been busy making some beautiful pebble artwork. I learned the technique from Bob Leatherbarrow during my second trip to Canada. I love this technique. I’m not sure if you can tell but this organic bowl is two colors, marigold and […]
Guess what I’ve been up too. Actually quite a bit, I’ve been fusing like crazy because I have a big show this month and it’s my first time at this location. More information will be in my Newsletter! This first one is pebbles (crackle but it looks like pebbles). Wait […]
During my Woodland Park show. A wonderful customer bought my multi season fused glass aspens. Sadly before she got it home it was dropped and broke. As I’ve mentioned in the past. If someone buys a large fused glass piece from me and they break it (within a couple of […]
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 […]
So I just finished 3 fused glass bowls. I can leave them as bowls they are little 5 inch dishes that are perfect for pretty much anything. But the bottoms on them are awesome too! […]
So I’ve been blogging about my trip to New York including Corning, Vitrix, my present from CMOG, Niagra Falls, etc. This blog will be about my fused glass class with Amanda and Lance Taylor at Oatka Studios in Batavia, New York. First I’ve never seen a studio so packed full […]
Last month I wrote a blog about a fused glass bowl I made out of the remains of once was a beautiful fused glass Aspen sconce. As I mentioned in that blog that the Aspen was so large (with a little extra glass), I was able to make two bowls. […]
I don’t think I’ve ever taken a picture inside my big kiln, this blog will change that. I have so many awesome pieces in the kiln I thought I’d show a quick snapshot before shutting the lid. This is whats called a slump fest I 13 different pieces […]
As I’ve mentioned many times. I love molds and I can’t seem to get enough of them. This fused glass bowl used two different types of molds. A texture mold and the slumping mold (square bowl). The nice thing about a texture […]
Over the last few months I’ve told ya’ll that I’ve created fused glass for commercial customers. For this blog I’d like to expand on it a little. Especially since I am working on two separate commercial fused glass orders right now and all of my kilns are filled so I […]
