I’ve had the privilege of writing several blogs about my fused-glass classes with some truly special moms. These incredible women are part of the Labeled and Loved group here in Colorado Springs and every time they visit my studio, the creativity and love they bring fills the room. If you’re […]
There’s something about the upcoming holiday season that makes me want to get creative—and it’s the perfect time to try something new! My fused glass classes are all about exploring techniques, playing with color, and creating pieces you’ll treasure or gift with pride. For November, I have three open classes […]
During my shows, I always do a drawing for anyone who signs up for my newsletter. At the Woodland Park Art Show in August, Erin was the lucky winner of the $25 prize! When I asked what she’d like, she decided on a fused glass night light. I showed her […]
This blog should come as no surprise to anyone — hi, my name is Karen, and I’m completely addicted to glass, especially fused glass! I love everything about it — creating new pieces, experimenting with colors and textures, and teaching others how to fuse their own glass art. Whether it’s […]
There’s something about fall that makes me want to get creative, and it’s the perfect season to try something new! My fused glass classes are all about exploring techniques, playing with color, and creating pieces you’ll treasure or gift with pride. Most of my schedule is booked with private groups, […]
What a fun class this was! Three ladies joined me, each tackling a project that was a little on the challenging side. Like every class, we started with the basics—safety reminders and liability forms—before moving on to one of my favorite parts: handing out free gifts. Students got to choose […]
Welcome to another wonderful fused glass class! This one was extra special because it included Brenda, her daughter, and her aunt. Brenda has taken many classes with me over the years—in fact, she’s the reason I started teaching in the first place. So, whenever she joins a class, it makes […]
What a fun class this was! We had two brand-new students, Christine and Lisa, joining us, along with two of seasoned fusers, Cindy and Kim. Just like every class, we kicked things off with a safety talk and the liability forms, making sure everyone was comfortable and ready to create. […]
This class was particularly meaningful to me because all of the ladies are special needs moms. That connection resonates deeply, and it made our time together even more special. Like every class, we started with a quick review of safety requirements and liability forms, and then I gave them a […]
Welcome to a fabulous class where we used bullseye glass with 3 returning students (Julie, Jim, & Cindy). That being said every class begins with a quick reminder: glass is sharp and can cut you, so I always review liability and safety before we get started. I hand out a […]
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 often write about my pocket hearts and crosses, but another casted fused glass piece I truly love making is my fused glass bears. These bears are a bit larger than my hearts, and they hold such a special place in my heart. For me, each one symbolizes strength, resilience, […]
One of the things I adore most about fused glass is its incredible versatility. Whether you’re creating jewelry, home décor, or functional art, there’s always something new to explore and fall in love with. In this post, I’m sharing just a few fun examples of how I’ve used fused glass […]
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 […]
