Description

I use multiple medias including fuse glass and clay. I use them separate from each other to create different works of art. I hand cut varying colors of glass to create my chosen designs. Once I finish my design I fire it and fuse it together. If I want to give it a dimensional shape such as a shape of a bowl, I slump it into a mold. For my clay I create small animal sculptures and masks using coil and slab building methods. I then fire them in a kiln to strengthen the clay. After that process I either paint them with acrylic paint or glaze them and fire them once more.
