There are some fused glass projects that have been on my wish list for years, and making a tiered plate stand is definitely one of them! Well, I finally did it, and here is my very first one! I chose one of my absolute favorite glasses, with its gorgeous swirls […]
October brought another wonderful fused glass class to my studio, and this one was extra special because it was a family affair! Shana returned with her son, Jase, and this time Shana’s mom, Gayle, joined us too! Shana and Jase have taken several classes with me, and it’s always such […]
Sometimes the smallest pieces of glass can transport you to the most beautiful places! These two adorable little fused glass creations feature completely different landscapes, but both capture a little piece of nature. What makes them even more special is how they’re displayed! I found these really cool floating display […]
I love making little fused glass trinket dishes. Sometimes the smallest pieces of art are the most useful! I’ve been busy creating adorable little fused glass trinket dishes in two sizes, 3″ x 3″ and 4″ x 4″, and I just love how versatile they are! These colorful, one-of-a-kind dishes […]
As you know, I love just about anything made from glass, and I’m always fascinated by the different ways artists work with it. One technique that really caught my attention is flintknapping, an ancient art that dates back thousands of years. Knapping is the process of carefully chipping away small […]
I’m always looking for new and interesting ways to work with fused glass, and this unique mold caught my attention! Unlike traditional molds used to slump glass into different shapes, this one has beautiful flowing grooves that are actually part of the design process. The idea is to fill those […]
This class was all about advanced creativity with Jim, Julie, and Cindy, three experienced students who have taken numerous fused glass classes with me. Even though they know their way around my studio—and probably know where half my supplies are by now! 😂—we still start every class by completing the […]
I love finding new ways to turn ordinary glass into something beautiful, and these little vases started their lives as wine and whiskey bottles! Instead of tossing the empty bottles into the recycling bin, I cut them in half and transform the bottoms into one-of-a-kind glass vases. After carefully preparing […]
Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to teach a Cows & Cuddles fused glass class at Double M Farm. What a fun combination—adorable cows, a beautiful farm setting, and, of course, fused glass! Here are a few of the sample suncatchers I created for the class. I wanted to […]
Summer may be winding down, but I’m not quite ready to give up the sunshine! I love making suncatchers because they’re meant to do exactly what their name says—catch the light and add a little color and happiness to a window. For this one, I went bright and cheerful, layering […]
Sometimes I don’t need a complicated plan—I just start making little pieces of glass and see where they take me! For these first three pieces, I started with handmade glass flowers and then used glass paint to add stems and other details. I added leaves, little bits of green glass […]
I had some handmade copper glass in my studio that I had created using glass and copper sparkle paint, and I decided it was finally time to put it back into use! Previously, I turned the glass into these fused glass nightlights, using a couple of different techniques for the […]
I have the following classes available in September. In the photos you’ll see show only a small sampling — there are truly a myriad of possibilities, including pieces perfect for Christmas, Birthdays, and more. Every class allows plenty of flexibility so you can personalize your project and make something uniquely […]
