My regular classes can hold up to five students, and this session was a full house with all five spots filled. Three of the students were good friends who came together, and the other two were a husband-and-wife team. It made for a lively, creative, and fun atmosphere! As always, […]
An old friend of mine, Denise, came to town recently, and she and her sister Teresa decided to take a fused glass class with me. It was such a treat to spend creative time together! As always, I had free gifts out for my students to choose from, including pocket […]
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 […]
June was a busy month in my studio, buzzing with the hum of kilns and the chatter of creative minds. One of my classes was with Meg and her daughter-in-law, Vanessa. As a little thank-you, I offered my usual free-gift buffet—hearts, earrings, pendants in every color imaginable, and cheerful magnets. […]
What happens when you mix three fabulous women, loads of creativity, and one passionate glass artist (yep, that’s me)? You get a fantastic, fused glass class bursting with conversation and talent! This month, I had the joy of hosting Christina, Amanda, and Adelaida for a fun glass adventure. I couldn’t […]
Memorial Day is a time to pause, reflect, and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. As a proud veteran and glass artist, I hold this day with solemn reverence in my heart. My patriotic fused glass pieces are more than decorative […]
I’ve shared several posts about donating my fused glass pieces to a truly special organization in Westcliffe called Mission: Wolf. They’re dedicated to rescuing and caring for wolves and wolf-dogs, and it’s an honor to support their mission in any way I can. Here are some of the fused glass […]
While I’ve already shared the fun we had in my private classes with Amber and Sandi this month, the very first private class I hosted was actually with Cindy—one of my returning students who’s taken several fused glass classes with this year. Normally, I teach using 96 COE (Coefficient of […]
This month has been packed with creative energy—and one of the highlights was a private class hosted by the lovely Sandi, who brought her fabulous friends Tonda, Tony, and Natalie for an afternoon of fused glass fun! There’s just something magical about friends getting together, laughing, and trying something totally […]
This month, I hosted another fun and fabulous private fused glass class. Amber discovered me through Google (which always makes me smile!) and brought along her mom Amy, her friend Sam, and Sam’s daughter, Penny, for a few joyful hours of glass fusing magic. As a thank-you, I love surprising […]
For this post, I’m combining two classes into one, simply because I didn’t have enough photos from each individual class, too busy teaching. The first class included Brenda and Cindy — their liability forms and free gifts are shown in the top row of photos. Since Brenda doesn’t wear jewelry, […]
In addition to my regularly scheduled open classes, where individuals or pairs can sign up, I also offer private fused glass classes for groups — usually up to five people. What this means is that you and two to four of your friends can schedule a special private session at […]
This special fused glass class took place at the end of March and is one of my favorite formats — a “choose your project” class, where students get to pick the project that speaks to them most! As always, I had my liability forms ready at sign-in. (After all, it’s […]
For April I am conducting the following “your choice of fused glass project” classes. I’m not a big fan on everyone making the same thing so I let my students make a myriad of different fused glass projects including: votive, night light, art piece, plant stake, magnet, casting, jewelry, etc. […]
