This blog features two months of advanced fused glass classes with three of my talented returning students—Cindy, Jim, and Julie. Since these classes combined both April and May sessions, this is going to be a fun and interesting post filled with experimentation, creativity, and lots of advanced techniques. One of […]
During May, I had a very special fused glass class that brought together a wonderful mix of students—Shana and Jase her son, along with two sisters Mary and Jane. Even though they had never met before class, they all got along perfectly. One of the things I love most about […]
During the last week of April, I had the pleasure of hosting a wonderful, fused glass class with Julie, Lacey, Stephanie, and Kari. What made this class especially fun was that they weren’t just students—they were friends and family spending creative time together. There’s something extra special about laughter, encouragement, […]
Normally, when I hold a class, I have a minimum of three students. However, this month I had a cozy class with just two lovely women, Jessica and Jenna. It was their first time fusing, and there’s something truly special about that first experience. As always, we began by reviewing […]
This month, I had the absolute pleasure of hosting another advanced fusing class with Jim, Julie, and Cindy—three talented artists who each have their own kilns and a real passion for pushing their skills to the next level. I love working with this group because they’re always ready to experiment, […]
I’ve mentioned some of my advanced classes before, but this one is all about Christine and Kayla. They took classes with me a while back and loved fusing so much that they bought their own kiln! Recently, they reached out wanting to dive deeper into firing schedules and really understand […]
At the end of last month, I had a wonderful class with two new students, Julie and Christa, along with a returning student, Glenda. We began the class the way I always do — by reviewing studio safety and completing the required liability forms. Once the paperwork was taken care […]

As always, we began by reviewing studio safety and completing the required liability forms. Once the paperwork was handled, […]
This month I had such a wonderful class with two new students, Ashley and Anita, along with a returning student, Glenda. I always love that mix — fresh excitement combined with growing confidence. We began the day the responsible way: reviewing studio safety and completing the required liability forms. Once […]
I’ve shared a few posts about my Advanced Reactions class before, but this one had its own special kind of chaos — the good kind. I set things up a little differently than usual. Right when they walked in, the liability forms and the table was covered in molds. Not […]
Even though this class was in January I wanted to ensure I showed off the great projects my students made. Laurie and Tania returned for another creative afternoon, and longtime customer Teresa joined us for her very first class in the studio. Since it was Teresa’s first time taking a […]
In December, I taught an advanced reactions fused glass class, and in preparation I created a whole collection of sample pieces. I promised my students that I would not only show them how to make reaction-rich glass blanks but also show them examples of how those pieces could be transformed […]
Earlier this month, I shared a blog post about all the preparation that went into teaching an advanced fused glass reactions class. Now it’s time to talk about the class itself. This session was made up of three of my advanced students — Jim, Julie, and Cindy — who were […]
This month I welcomed a fun, energetic group into the studio — Kim and her daughter Kenzie, joined by friends Laurie and Tania. Since it was everyone’s first time taking one of my classes, we began by going over studio safety and completing the required liability forms. Once that was […]
