For years I have collected colorful peices of glass; from jewelery, serving bowls and platers, dishes, vases, votives, to paper weights. But, I never imagined I could make any of these cherished pieces. With a few basic tools, some fusable glass, and access to a kiln I now make (and sell) jewelry, wind chimes, dishes and bowls of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I will take you through the process of design and create your uniquely beautiful, 3D pieces of glass art. With a few basic tools, some fusable glass, a design, and access to a kiln you will become proficient in cutting glass, assembling the pieces, and fusing your work into functional piesces of art. (you don't need to purchase a kiln!) By the end of the course (5-10 hours) you will have created one of the following: 4 coasters, 3 wind chimes, 2 picture frames, 2 small plates, 1 vase, or several pieces of wearable art.

I have been a fine artist for several years. My paintings live in private homes in the United States. My art has been featured in several exhibitions and galleries. I love teaching someone to paint and I can see how proud they are of their finished work. During my painting work, you can learn about value, color, composition, the perspective of painting and much more. Learn to paint home portraits, seascapes and landscapes on glass with glass paint. You can also achieve an oil painting effect. You can create anything you want. You can discover a new world through the eyes of an artist, and that artist is you!
