Learning hot glass is amazing! There are so many ways to melt and sculpt hot glass. I am addicted to this journey…

  • Pittsboro, NC: Jonathan Michael Davis flameworking

  • Asheville, NC: Penland School of Craft furnace work

  • Durham, NC: Liberty Arts hotshop. I had no idea there was a public access furnace in my backyard!

  • New Mexico: Albuquerque at Auroraborealis Glass Works furnace, fusing and flamework and Santa Fe at Bullseye Resource Center for fusing and Tesuque Glassworks for wax dressing.

  • New Jersey: Salem Community College flameworking conferences and hotshop classes

  • New York: Corning Museum of Glass, multiple flamework classes

  • Murano, Italy: Studied soft glass sculpture with Lucio Bubacco

  • Texas: Glass Art Society international conference (upcoming, May 2025)
