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 […]
This month I received an order for 50 white and clear soap dishes. I love getting orders for custom production fused glass dishes for hotels and restaurants. This is actually one of the most difficult soap dishes I make. because instead of 2 layers of glass I cut 5 for […]

Last month I posted the following new Fused Glass Plant Stakes, while I was making them I got excited about making some different plant stakes. So the tops of these plant stakes were previously casted pieces so I made the bottoms to fit and match the top. I also used […]
