June was a busy month in my studio, buzzing with the hum of kilns and the chatter of creative minds. One of my classes was with Meg and her daughter-in-law, Vanessa. As a little thank-you, I offered my usual free-gift buffet—hearts, earrings, pendants in every color imaginable, and cheerful magnets. […]
I also made these super fun little dishes—and I’m absolutely in love with how they turned out! The 3-inch and 4-inch sizes make them perfect as small accent pieces, but what really makes them shine is their artistic flair. Each one is bursting with color and personality! You’ll notice the […]
I’ve shared several posts about donating my fused glass pieces to a truly special organization in Westcliffe called Mission: Wolf. They’re dedicated to rescuing and caring for wolves and wolf-dogs, and it’s an honor to support their mission in any way I can. Here are some of the fused glass […]
I’ve shared several posts in the past about FestiviTea and the custom fused glass pieces I create for their lovely shop. These newest tea bag holders and stirrers are especially close to my heart because I screen printed each one by hand—layering delicate designs onto the glass before firing. It’s […]
This special fused glass class took place at the end of March and is one of my favorite formats — a “choose your project” class, where students get to pick the project that speaks to them most! As always, I had my liability forms ready at sign-in. (After all, it’s […]
Not long ago, I accidentally broke one of my favorite fused glass vases. I was heartbroken—how could I throw away something so beautiful? Fused glass has a way of capturing not just light, but little pieces of your soul. So instead of mourning the break, I asked myself: What kind […]
For April I am conducting the following “your choice of fused glass project” classes. I’m not a big fan on everyone making the same thing so I let my students make a myriad of different fused glass projects including: votive, night light, art piece, plant stake, magnet, casting, jewelry, etc. […]
This month I had a wonderful class with two talented students, which yes is less than my minimum of three students. I had a third student scheduled, but she dropped out and I didn’t have time to get a 3rd student and I didn’t want to punish my other two […]
I love making little fused glass dishes. The small 3-inch square dishes are perfect for rings, tea bags, spoons, a small candle, or just as a pretty little dish. Here are 7 of my newest 3 inch dishes. I also made these very cool dishes. One is the 3 inch […]
In March I offered a fused glass coral and flower class. I had two advanced students sign up for the class. This class has several techniques that they could make including coral, lattice, lace, and even flowers. I had two advanced students take the class. What a fun and challenging […]
For March I am conducting the following “your choice of fused glass project” classes. What that means is each student can make a fused glass project of their choice including: votive, night light, art piece, plant stake, magnet, casting, jewelry, etc. Classes cost starts at $30 (price depends on your […]
Earlier this month I held a fused glass large vase class. These students are very experienced students, which is why they wanted to make large vases. As always I give small gifts to those who take classes with me. Here are pictures of the pendants, pocket hearts, and even St […]

In my December Newsletter I mentioned that I’ve changed jobs. This is germane to this post because now I won’t be going TDY (business trips) as much; therefore, I am going to have more classes each month (3 or 4). Just like my Valentine’s Couple’s class, I opened this “Your […]
