Growing a Glass Orchard

Ten years in the glass art world, and ready to share! I've worked in stained glass, fusing, mosaic, and blowing, and torchwork. This is my glass sketchbook, exploring techniques, sharing trials & tips, testing products, culminating ideas, and spreading the general love of all things glass!
