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)
