After my glass class with Laurie I decided to drive the scenic route, Hwy 1, to the bullseye resource center near San Francisco. What a beautiful drive. It was a bit foggy in places, but still a lovely drive. I really liked the lighthouse, so majestic. I may have to […]
As those who follow me know my son had a daughter last January and this January my daughter and I went to see my son, daughter-in-law, and of course my granddaughter. She is so beautiful and so smart, I can’t tell you how special it was for me to see […]
While I was in Emeryville visiting my Son, Alyssa, and brand new baby girl. I got a chance to go to the bullseye resource center. One of the things I love about bullseye is they show artists work. This time they showed, 3 fused glass artists. The first was Susan […]
One thing about me is I like to check a place out before I truly commit. I did that with Leslie (of course it only took me minutes to decide she was amazing), I did that with Aquila, and I did that with Live, Love, […]
While in Portland I also visited Aquila Art Glass studio. I met Don, one of the owners. He was very gracious and showed me his working studio. Not only do they teach fused glass they also teach flameworking. More than teaching […]
During my trip to Portland for my bullseye workshop I also went to a Uroboros factory. I’ll be honest I didn’t know anything about Uroboros until I took this tour. Ken was extremely helpful and so was Carmen. Ken gave us (there were 3 of […]
So while I was at the bullseye factory in Portland we got the once in a lifetime opportunity to cast / make our own glass! I’ve done a lot of fun things with glass but this was the most fun and exciting thing I’ve ever done. It was also a […]
While we were at bullseye we also got to tour the bullseye owner’s house. One thing I loved was the owner was one of the original partners from 1974! That is so cool to me. They like to do tours so people can see how to […]
On Monday I started blogging about my bullseye trip, so today’s blog is going to talk about the techniques we used in the workshop. Our class was a special class created for bullseye glass distributors students “Explore Bullseye Workshop”. Our class was with Tanya Viet because we are all students […]
What a fabulous 9 days I had in Oregon!! I did so much there is no way I can only write 1 blog, not even 3 blogs will be enough, but I’ll try to keep it to 7 blogs but they may be […]
I’m so excited on the 11th of September, I am going to the mecca of Fused Glass – Portland Oregon! I am going to take a week-long class at the bullseye. But more than the class it’s self is that it’s not just me […]
For July’s Fused Glass review I thought I’d review one of Bullseye’s Glass videos. I wrote a “DYK – Did You Know” about Bullseye’s Glass education site in January and so I thought I’d do a review on one of the videos I […]
Last time I blogged a little about how my trip to see my son and daughter-in-law was also a ploy to go to the Bullseye factory in Portland and how great the tour of the factory was with […]
I love to learn about fused glass whether it is through classes, eBooks, or actual books. I thought I would write a few Fused Glass book reviews on the various books I have purchased. Please understand this is my personal view and is not […]
