Frames Galore!! Auction Item!! wrapping things up...


Check out these fun frames! A few of the students created words with their glass pieces. I love the "looking good" frame and the frame that says Daddy really showcases the students increased skill level with working with stringers in the flame to bend the glass stringers and make shapes. Much thought and creativity went in to these frames!


I am happy to showcase this amazing platter made specifically for the Coleman School Auction.
Eight panels were made by the students with a garden, animal or nature theme. I then fused the panels on a large sheet of clear glass and framed each panel with some colored stringers. I must say, I think this is a lovely piece. There are flowers, a praying mantis, a penguin, turtle/ladybug design and bright inviting colors. Functional and Beautiful.  Great work!


We had our last class this past Monday. I have had so much fun and enjoyed getting to know this wonderful group of kids. I am going to miss our group. I hope to get another class going- if not this month for sure in the summer. I am thinking Fused Glass Summer Camp! Stay Tuned! 
Also...Look for upcoming posts of some new work that I am doing for a fabulous store in S.F. called http://www.kumquatart.com/shop I am making fused glass framed mirrors- my special niche in fused glass. I am so excited to get this opportunity to get back to making mirrors.
