In the coming weeks and months, I'll be posting up lots of photos and information on my various fused glass creations. I make a variety of fused glass cabochons, pendants and gift items such as plates, bowls and vases.

Fused Glass Classes
Not ready to place a catalog order, do you want to be able to pick out your glass in person? Visit your local stained glass studio. Many of the studios in my area also teach fused glass classes, rent kiln time and sell a variety of fused glass supplies. You can't just use any type of glass to make fused glass, it has to be tested compatible.

If you are new to the medium of fused glass, I highly recommend taking a basic/beginners level class. Check out bead stores in your area too. I've taught fused glass classes at both local bead stores and my local gem & mineral society.
