I have dabbled in all sorts of crafts over the years, from quilting, to weaving but finally found my passion in glass. I love the way that glass is transformed by fire and heat – you never really know what you’re going to get until it comes out of the kiln. I create lampwork beads which I add to stainless steel serving utensils. I also create fused glass pieces which complement the utensils. The process of sitting at a torch and creating beautiful colors and designs is mesmerizing. And my fused glass work allows me to extend my creativity in another direction, one which I am totally hooked on. You’ll find me most days moving from one end of my garage studio to the other, from lampworking to fusing and loving every minute!
