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 youre going to get until it comes out of the kiln.

I create lampwork beads which I add to stainless steel serving utensils and also fused glass plates to complement the utensils. The term lampwork comes from the time when artists used oil lamps to melt the glass.

Today, we use table mounted torches and the more modern term is flameworking. The process of sitting at a torch and creating beautiful colors and designs is mesmerizing and one I cannot get enough of. And if I need a break from the intensity of the torch I can move to the other end of my garage studio and focus on designing fused glass plates.

Truly the best of both worlds!
