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. […]

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 when people give glasses, they keep to a common subject i.e., ornaments, dishes, casting, etc. But not me, wait until you see all of the things my students made in this fused glass class. As always, I like to show my setup for the students, including their supplies e.g., […]
I love making fused glass votives. When I was asked to make a few for the Beckwith Gift Shoppe I made several for them. This first group are a smaller votives for candles or potpourri. I’ve wanted to do this type of fused glass handkerchief vases for quite a while […]
One of my focus areas for the new year was to use products that I buy. I bought a mold for making bases for votives. The kit came with the mold for the bottom, drill bits for drilling the holes, and of course light fixtures that fit perfectly into the […]
This month I took a Mandala Glass Dotting class. I’ve seen dotting on rocks and wanted to see how dotting would work on Glass. Painting with dots (I just call it dotting) it’s also known as pointillism and is basically making dots of different sizes with paint. Recently the types […]
One of my favorite fused glass techniques is crackle. I learned it from the great Bob Leatherbarrow. If you look in the links below I’ve listed some of the past posts I’ve written about my classes with Bob. Well I’ve made some small pieces just to have a bit of […]

So last week in one of my blogs I showed you some custom fused glass pieces that I created. These are the fused glass coasters that I finished. I think they turned out really nice and my customer liked them as well. […]
Crazy busy week I just got home from my month long trip. It’s so good to be home. I put some custom orders in the kiln as soon as I got home. This is a set of Fused Glass coasters, albeit they aren’t quite done. I’m going to put a […]
Mother’s Day is the 6th of May and will be here before you know it. Fused glass is a perfect gift for Mother’s day. It can be as a pendant, nightlight, dish, sconce, vase, and so much more. A while back I did a youtube video of some fused glass […]
