I scheduled a Fused Glass Ornament Class this month and 3 of my students came for the class. The question is did they make ornaments? Yes and no – 1 person made ornaments the other two students chose another project. It didn’t really bother me because they have all taken […]
Normally the maximum students I host in my fused glass classes in my home studio is 5. However, for my fused glass class on the 4th of February a couple of odd consequences occurred. Roni who scheduled it asked if 6 people could participate – I said yes since y’all […]
I love flowers. That being said, I am not much of a gardener, albeit I do love to make fused glass for the garden (lawn or yard) and for house plants. I’ve made several plant stakes, garden art, etc. Since I’ve tried other types of fused glass garden art, I […]

Last week I showed you a lantern with several tiny fused glass panels. This week I thought I’d show you a bigger lantern with larger fused glass panels. This one I put some dolphin fused glass pieces and then I put some confetti glass in. Glass likes to shrink when […]
I receive a myriad of questions regarding the “pictures” on my fused glass artwork. This blog will explain how the pictures / decals are fused onto the surface of a pre-fired fused glass. I use several types of decals (including gold, color, black, […]
Nope it’s not another blog about Tanya OK a little. In my last blogs I talked (quite lengthy) about the Fused Glass workshop I took from Tanya Veit from AAE. What I didn’t mention is during Extreme Fused 2 one of Tanya’s […]
