| Trained in commercial art, and the former owner of a graphic design firm, I find it exciting to transfer my knowledge of the principles of good design to glass. In contrast to sitting at a computer, I enjoy "getting my hands dirty," and get immense satisfaction from the physicality of creating. As a glass artist, I am mainly self-taught, having ordered my own kiln immediately after taking an introductory fusing class! While awaiting my kiln's arrival, I enrolled in a 6-week course on fusing, and hit the ground running when my kiln arrived. I have felt fortunate to have the tools and materials on hand to explore this media in my own workshop, as inspiration sometimes strikes at odd hours! |
