Creating my pieces are time consuming, whether a piece is fused in the kiln several times or burnished and soldered together to form a stained glass piece. I start with drawing the design for my pieces, then cut and grind the glass to form a desired shape, and if I'm fusing, a piece could be fired several times, maybe adding more glass to each firing to achieve the desired final appearance. If I'm creating a stained glass piece, each piece of glass must be individually foiled, burnished, and then soldered together. I genuinely enjoy designing and creating my stained glass & fused glass artwork. It's so exciting to explore many different techniques for my creations . There is always something new to learn and to create!!
