About this site

My passion for glass fusing began in 1993 when I took

a class at UC Berkeley Extension.

Since then, I have taken many more classes as my passion for glass grew stronger.

For thousands of years, people have been fascinated by the process and results of forming glass.


The Egyptians evolved a mastery of skills with glass.


There is something magical about glass when it is hot and forming.

I feel enormous passion for working with this material.

I enjoy creating designs that reflect themes and symbols. I love to create pendants, plates, bowls, and candleholders in many different glass color combinations.


Below are the materials I use for glass design:


* Dichroic Glass (metallic oxides)

* Organic Materials

* Copper

* Mesh

* Wire

* Glass Enamels

* Acrylic Glass Enamels

* Mica Powders

* Decals

* Glass Pens
