Alcohol ink workshops are offered locally through creativeflowstudio.org.

Using spaces between stringers, bubbles are intentionally created and become part of the design.

Chemical reactions can happen when firing particular colors and tints with silver foil or other metallic accents.

Each of these bowls is hand-painted, using enamel paint. They are small and designed to be used for dips or sauces.

Handcrafted fused glass heart magnets celebrate love, color, and light while bringing a small moment of joy to everyday spaces.

These handcrafted fused glass pocket hearts come with a small velvet bag and make meaningful keepsakes, combining vibrant color with the timeless symbolism of the heart.

Mandalas are created by making wafers from glass powder and then firing them on a "blank" or firing two wafers back to back. It generally requires 4-5 different firing processes to make one.

Milestone decals are a great way to add visual interest to practical glass products. Functional pieces can be individualized in this way.

Using specialized molds, glass powders, and varying sizes of frit, these pieces are fired to be decorative and functional.

These pieces were all created using the "optics" technique, which is my favorite method of making  beautiful and practical glass work.

Using various sizes of glass frit, these landscapes are meant to evoke western Massachusetts.

These pendants are created with either silver foil or dichroic glass on black opalescent frit.

Glass powders are silkscreened onto sheet glass to create crisp, graphic imagery that becomes permanently fused into the surface during kiln firing. Layering colors and combining screen-printed imagery with glass allows for a range of effects—from bold, contemporary patterns to softer, more subtle variations in color and texture.

Silver foil is used to achieve brilliant metallic details, create complex textures, and spark unique chemical color reactions with the surrounding glass. When exposed to kiln firing temperatures, the silver interacts with trace minerals in the glass, producing halos, subtle color changes, and unique veining.

These are designed to accent a special outfit or secure a beautiful scarf.

Stacks are created by stacking increasingly smaller pieces of glass as the design is built up.

To weave glass, thin strips are cut, wave strips are created through a firing process, and then the wave strips and straight strips are interwoven.
