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 […]
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 […]
When I create these small, fused glass pieces, I didn’t know what they’d eventually become—a nightlight, suncatcher, votive, or simply a little piece of art. I just start creating and see where the glass takes me! The first piece shown here was made using pressed glass and colorful glass dots, […]
Sometimes a piece of glass is so pretty that it really doesn’t need a complicated design. This beautiful pink and white Bullseye glass is a perfect example. I love the soft movement of the pink flowing through the creamy white—it almost looks like watercolor or wisps of pink floating across […]
It was another wonderful day in the studio as I welcomed Jutta and Kim back for another fused glass adventure while meeting Jennifer, who was experiencing fused glass for the very first time. As always, we began by completing the liability forms before settling in for a day of creativity. […]
I always enjoy welcoming both new and returning students into my studio, and this class was no exception! As everyone arrived, we began by completing the liability forms and getting settled in before the creativity began. Then it was time for one of my favorite traditions—each student selected a patriotic […]
Several years ago, I created a custom fused glass nightlight inspired by the beautiful stained-glass windows of a church. It became one of my favorite custom nightlights because it combined timeless architecture with the warmth and glow that only glass can provide. Recently, the customer reached out with a wonderful […]
Sometimes the smallest pieces are the ones that make the biggest impact. These little fused glass dishes measure approximately 4″ x 4″, making them the perfect size to brighten a desk, nightstand, kitchen counter, or entry table. Each one features a hand screen-printed inspirational quote, turning an everyday glass dish […]
This month I welcomed two new students, Brandy and Angela, to my fused glass studio. Since it was their first time visiting, we started the day by reviewing studio safety, completing the required liability forms, and talking about what they would be creating. Once the paperwork was finished, I surprised […]
I recently welcomed four new students—Becky, Jamie, Meadow, and Tara—to my fused glass studio for a fun day of creativity and learning. Since all four were first-time visitors, we began class by reviewing studio safety and completing the required liability forms. Once the paperwork was finished, I surprised each of […]
During May, I had the pleasure of welcoming Mary and her daughter Julia to my studio for a special mother-daughter fused glass class. I always enjoy classes like these because they create an opportunity to spend quality time together while making something beautiful. From the moment they arrived, it was […]
During May, I had the pleasure of welcoming three new students to my studio—Sheryl, Matt, and Jutta. One of my favorite things about teaching fused glass is introducing people to the art form for the very first time and watching their excitement grow as they discover all the possibilities glass […]
One of the things I love most about fused glass is how dramatically a mold can transform a simple flat piece of glass into something elegant and artistic. For June, I decided to feature this beautiful flowing flower-style mold. The soft organic curves and flowing shape make it perfect for […]
