2019 was a creative blast!  Lots of experimentation by my students. Incredible combinations of clay and recyclables as well as beautiful glasswork with wire and driftwood.  There have been sculptures of all kinds. Some funny and others are very poetic. I have been so inspired.

My last hooray of the year was my 5th annual Fused Glass Holiday Ornament workshop! TWO workshops with several wonderful families. Over 200 beautiful ornaments were made! I really enjoy these classes and I love to see how families grow over the years and in their understanding of how to work with glass. I look forward to next year!! 

Some of my Creative Goals for the New Year....( What are yours???)

• Take some classes myself...craving some new techniques and adventures
• Focus on healing art in connection to the planet
• Have more art nights with friends
• Declutter my workshop ( I know I can do it!)
• Take another writing workshop
• new website

As always, as spring approaches and warmer weather- my workshop is open for art parties for both kids and adults or any combo or I can come to you! I also love to do girl scout badge parties for clay and jewelry.  Please contact me for more info!

Keeping this post on the short side this go around! Enjoy the photos.

In Peace and Joy...
