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 […]
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 […]
Last year, I was in Korea during the Woodland Park Mountain Arts Festival and sadly had to miss it—but not this year! I was so thrilled to be back for the 40th anniversary of this wonderful event, and I’m so glad I made it. The festival is held in Memorial […]
Brenda and Kayla, two of my amazing longtime customers, joined me for a fused glass class this month. I always enjoy creating with them—they bring so much joy and creativity to the studio! As always, I gave out a little thank-you gift to each of them. This month I added […]
For my last blog of the month, I wanted to share something close to my heart. I love donating my glass to worthy causes, and this month, one of my students shared a wonderful opportunity with me. She was organizing a fundraiser to help provide groceries for dinners served at […]
Back in February, I shared a post about a special project I created for my dear friend Marilyn, who had recently lost her beloved dog, Aspen. She asked if I could make fused glass paw prints incorporating Aspen’s ashes—a heartfelt way to keep his memory close. I was honored to […]
This month I had a wonderful class with two talented students, which yes is less than my minimum of three students. I had a third student scheduled, but she dropped out and I didn’t have time to get a 3rd student and I didn’t want to punish my other two […]
I love making fused glass magnets. I’ve made them in various shapes and sizes. Here are some of my new ones. This first group are little flowers. The single magnet I added a little dichroic dot. I think these are cute and fun! Perfect for the refrigerator. Here are some […]
Earlier this month I held a fused glass large vase class. These students are very experienced students, which is why they wanted to make large vases. As always I give small gifts to those who take classes with me. Here are pictures of the pendants, pocket hearts, and even St […]
I love making fused glass plant stakes and thought I’d show them off. Aren’t they beautiful. I had some large flowers that I hadn’t used and decided to create some plant stakes with these beautiful flowers. Aren’t they special, especially the ladybugs. Of course I also made a tulip and […]
In my December Newsletter I mentioned that I’ve changed jobs. This is germane to this post because now I won’t be going TDY (business trips) as much; therefore, I am going to have more classes each month (3 or 4). Just like my Valentine’s Couple’s class, I opened this “Your […]
In preparation for Valentines, I held a couple’s class in January 2024. Sadly, we had a cold snowy weekend so only 1 couple was able to attend. The 3 of us had a blast! What a wonderful and friendly couple. A bit of background, typically I only post my classes […]
I held a private fused glass class for a wonderful group of ladies. It was quite a variety of techniques and projects. I had the liability forms out as always and because I just completed my Fused Glass home show the ladies had a lot of free fused glass options […]
I’ve been trying to use up some of my glass and finish pieces I’ve started in the past and just didn’t finish. This post shows I’m making a bit of progress. I love screen printing and I screen-printed these pieces a while back but never finished them. The first three, […]
