As you know, I absolutely love fused glass—and I love teaching it just as much! One of my students, Cindy, has been taking classes with me almost every month this year. She’s such a joy to have in class—always enthusiastic, creative, and eager to learn. Below are just a few […]
October was full of sparkle and laughter as Jim, Julie, and Cindy joined me once again to make some beautiful, fused glass Christmas ornaments! They enjoyed their first ornament class so much in September that they decided to come back for round two—and I couldn’t have been happier to have […]
Even though it’s only September, holiday spirit filled the studio when Jim and Julie had two ornaments they had bought in Italy years ago. They wanted to recreate them in class, and when Cindy saw the designs, she was eager to make some as well. Sadly, Julie wasn’t able to […]
Welcome to another wonderful fused glass class! This one was extra special because it included Brenda, her daughter, and her aunt. Brenda has taken many classes with me over the years—in fact, she’s the reason I started teaching in the first place. So, whenever she joins a class, it makes […]
Welcome to a fabulous class where we used bullseye glass with 3 returning students (Julie, Jim, & Cindy). That being said every class begins with a quick reminder: glass is sharp and can cut you, so I always review liability and safety before we get started. I hand out a […]
My regular classes can hold up to five students, and this session was a full house with all five spots filled. Three of the students were good friends who came together, and the other two were a husband-and-wife team. It made for a lively, creative, and fun atmosphere! As always, […]
Brenda and Kayla, two of my amazing longtime customers, joined me for a fused glass class this month. I always enjoy creating with them—they bring so much joy and creativity to the studio! As always, I gave out a little thank-you gift to each of them. This month I added […]
My classes usually have a minimum of three students, but sometimes life happens—and I ended up with just one student for this class. That student was Cindy, who’s taken several classes with me over the years. Rather than cancel, I invited her to create whatever her heart desired. She decided […]
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 […]
What happens when you mix three fabulous women, loads of creativity, and one passionate glass artist (yep, that’s me)? You get a fantastic, fused glass class bursting with conversation and talent! This month, I had the joy of hosting Christina, Amanda, and Adelaida for a fun glass adventure. I couldn’t […]
While I’ve already shared the fun we had in my private classes with Amber and Sandi this month, the very first private class I hosted was actually with Cindy—one of my returning students who’s taken several fused glass classes with this year. Normally, I teach using 96 COE (Coefficient of […]
For this post, I’m combining two classes into one, simply because I didn’t have enough photos from each individual class, too busy teaching. The first class included Brenda and Cindy — their liability forms and free gifts are shown in the top row of photos. Since Brenda doesn’t wear jewelry, […]
Yes, another amazing and fun fused glass class — but this one was extra special! I had been asked to teach a parent and child class, something I had been a little nervous about for quite some time.Because glass can cut, I’ve always been very cautious about teaching children. Safety […]
One of my wonderful students, Cindy, who has taken a few classes with me before, came to me with a big idea — she wanted to create a large, fused glass flower! This was a major project — not just because of its size, but also because of the many […]
