One of the things I love most about working with fused glass is its flexibility. If a piece doesn’t turn out the way I envisioned—or if inspiration strikes after the kiln has cooled—I can simply re-fire it and transform it into something entirely new. That freedom is part of the […]
In March, I had the opportunity to visit Suffolk, Virginia for work—and one of the highlights of my trip was touring the incredible USS Wisconsin. What a fabulous ship! You might not know this, but the Wisconsin proudly served in three wars: World War II, the Korean War, and even […]
This month, I received an order for 75 black amenity fused glass dishes. I love receiving custom production orders like these, especially for hotels and restaurants. But, believe it or not, black dishes can be a bit challenging. One time, when I made them, two dishes ended up with my […]

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. […]

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 little fused glass dishes. The small 3-inch square dishes are perfect for rings, tea bags, spoons, a small candle, or just as a pretty little dish. Here are 7 of my newest 3 inch dishes. I also made these very cool dishes. One is the 3 inch […]
In March I offered a fused glass coral and flower class. I had two advanced students sign up for the class. This class has several techniques that they could make including coral, lattice, lace, and even flowers. I had two advanced students take the class. What a fun and challenging […]
This month I received an order for 50 white and clear soap dishes. I love getting orders for custom production fused glass dishes for hotels and restaurants. This is actually one of the most difficult soap dishes I make. because instead of 2 layers of glass I cut 5 for […]
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 […]
Last month I posted the following new Fused Glass Plant Stakes, while I was making them I got excited about making some different plant stakes. So the tops of these plant stakes were previously casted pieces so I made the bottoms to fit and match the top. I also used […]

What that means is each student can make a fused glass project of their choice including: votive, night light, art piece, plant stake, magnet, casting, jewelry, etc. Classes cost starts at $30 (price depends on your […]
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 […]
