I just finished a class with one of the most amazing Kiln-formed Glass instructors, Craig Mitchell Smith. He is incredibly talented and the way his brain works just blew my mind over and over again! I’m sure I will write about how fabulous Craig’s class was several times in the […]
I’m asked occasionally do you hate selling your fused glass. The answer is yes sometimes I do. A few years ago I had a really difficult time selling my fused glass wolf sconce. I thought it was a beautiful, and it made me sad to sell it. […]
While I was at the Woodland Park show I had a great guy and customer came in and asked if I had cuff links that would match his teal jacket. This was not the first time he has visited me, last time he purchased the fused glass cuff link snaps. […]
In the past I have made fused glass wine charms, albeit I haven’t brought them to a show in a while. I have holiday ones including Christmas, Halloween and New Years. However, during the woodland park show two lovely ladies walked into my […]
I would like to thank all of those who came out to visit me at the Woodland Park’s Mountain Arts. This was the first one of my season and I just really enjoy seeing my customers. It’s been since December and I really enjoy catching up with them. For those […]
While I’m working in my glass studio I listen to books on tape or watch glass videos. Recently I finished a book by Greta Van Sustern “Everything you need to know about Social Media – without having to call a kid”. It was an interesting […]

It’s interesting I normally do 3 or 4 commercial orders a year, but this year I’ve had 4 within the first 6 months. I have a new fused glass commercial order for 200 soap dishes. I’ve made these before and I like them, They are perfect, plus soap dishes are […]
Guess what happens when you get cocky with creating fused glass? That’s right it breaks. I’ve made over 100 of my big production plates. But in my last few slump firings 2 of my plates broke. The first one actually took a small bowl with it. If you know about […]
The Mountain Arts Festival is coming up, August 4-5 and I will be having a booth to show off my beautiful Fused Glass Artwork. I thought I’d show some of my fused glass. Fused glass Essential Oil pendants and car fresheners. Fused Glass bookmarks and […]
Over the last few months I’ve made a myriad of sets (over 50) of Fused Glass Earrings, so for my first show 4-5 August (Mountain Arts Festival, in Woodland Park), when you buy two sets of earrings you get 1 set free (of equal or lesser value). My fused glass […]
In my last blog I talked about all the glass I purchased over the years. As I was walking around my house I also other glass I bought made. I have quite a bit so I may have to break it down into different categories. First, functional pieces. First in […]
