When I conduct a fused glass class, I typically create samples for inspiration. Sometimes my examples are what to do and sometimes it’s what not to do. For my Valentine couple’s class, I made several samples. Here are the little fused glass dishes I created for class. I do wish […]

Back in March one of my customers asked me if I could teach her how to pull vitrigraph. I love making vitrigraph so I had no problem teaching a basic vitrigraph class. The main reason is people are a bit scared to touch molten glass – I don’t understand why […]

Last week I had a wonderful time teaching a Fused Glass Ornament Class at Festivitea. This is my first-time teaching outside my studio. It was a challenge because I had to cut the bases and I wanted enough choices for hats, scarfs, earmuffs, etc. It was also the first time […]
