September is shaping up to be an exciting month in my studio! I’m thrilled to be offering 6 different fused glass classes, each designed to spark creativity, inspire learning, and help students craft their own beautiful glass art. Whether you’re brand new to fused glass or a returning student eager […]
I absolutely love creating fused glass pocket hearts—each one is a tiny symbol of love, hope, and kindness. Over the years, I’ve written numerous blog posts about the hearts I’ve created, gifted, and donated. Recently, I decided to donate a large batch of hearts to a truly deserving group of […]
I absolutely love creating fused glass jewelry, and one of my favorite enhancements is incorporating silver into my designs. It adds elegance, brilliance, and a beautiful transformation when paired with Alchemy Glass—specifically, Silver to Bronze reactive sheet glass. When layered with silver and clear glass, the alchemy magic begins: the […]
Back in June, I shared a blog post all about my fascination with glow glass—glass that stores light and glows in the dark, adding a magical touch to any fused glass piece. I featured some of my favorite fused glass creations in that post, and today I’m excited to expand […]
Last year, I was in Korea during the Woodland Park Mountain Arts Festival and sadly had to miss it—but not this year! I was so thrilled to be back for the 40th anniversary of this wonderful event, and I’m so glad I made it. The festival is held in Memorial […]
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, […]
This next fused glass class was such a joy! My students were Christina and Jennifer, two wonderful friends who are part of a mom’s group for special kids. These women are truly inspiring, and it was an honor to share creative time with them. As always, I set out a […]
An old friend of mine, Denise, came to town recently, and she and her sister Teresa decided to take a fused glass class with me. It was such a treat to spend creative time together! As always, I had free gifts out for my students to choose from, including pocket […]
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 […]
I truly enjoy going through my fused glass pieces and giving them a little extra charm by adding decals. It’s such a fun and creative way to elevate a piece and make it even more meaningful. Here’s one of my recent favorites—it’s both beautiful and uplifting. I started with a […]
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 […]
For my last blog of the month, I wanted to share something close to my heart. I love donating my glass to worthy causes, and this month, one of my students shared a wonderful opportunity with me. She was organizing a fundraiser to help provide groceries for dinners served at […]
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 […]
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. […]
