June is shaping up to be an exciting month in my studio—I’m thrilled to be offering 6 fused glass classes! Whether you’re brand new to glass art or a returning student eager to explore new techniques, these classes are a fantastic opportunity to get creative, have fun, and leave with […]
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 […]
One of my wonderful students, Cindy, who has taken a few classes with me before, came to me with a big idea — she wanted to create a large, fused glass flower! This was a major project — not just because of its size, but also because of the many […]
Not long ago, I accidentally broke one of my favorite fused glass vases. I was heartbroken—how could I throw away something so beautiful? Fused glass has a way of capturing not just light, but little pieces of your soul. So instead of mourning the break, I asked myself: What kind […]
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 […]
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. […]
On 19 April at 2pm I will teach a Parent and Child (age 10 and up) Egg Class. Classes includes instruction, glass, tools, accessory glass, etc. Typically, classes are around 2 hours. No experience is necessary. Some of the supplies available for the egg class including vitrigraph, frit, dots, murrine, […]
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 […]
