I’m in Chatelaine magazine’s on-line article… Crafter of the Month.

I am currently working on several projects in the studio; some are smaller ones, some quite a bit broader in scope. These salmon are going to be a part of my spring exhibition at the Devon House Gallery this May. I have about 30 or so more fish to fire for the first time, and then I get to work out further details for fusing and slumping sessions for all 99 of them! These 99 fish will then be part of a larger installation… will keep you posted!

Liven up kitchen cupboards, cabinet doors, room dividers, or windows with your childrens’ art transformed into fused glass panels! These panels will be heirloms in your family for generations, not to mention great conversation pieces. What a way to document and enjoy your child’s art!

Beautiful woodland caribou will decorate your windowsills, mantlepiece or shelves– great for the festive season or anytime of year!

Colourful Codfish will give any room a lift when natural light shines through the colourful glass.

Mummer panel, waiting for its turn in the kiln. After slumping, the panel will be drilled so that it can be set onto the copper stand made so that a candle can be placed behind the panel. Beautiful on a mantle, a window ledge, or the Christmas table!!

These are two of the four designs that I made for the Christmas season. I took two of each to the St. John’s Fine Craft and Design Fair this past week, and have sold out, but am working on four new designs… These are limited editions, as I do not wnat to make more than two of each. I will be selling these at the Best Coast Christmas Craft Fair at Marble Mountain Nov 20-22, as well as taking orders from the studio directly.

Below, is her twin, Snow Raven, fused for the first time. I am working on these two Ravens to show at the St. John’s Fine Craft & Design Fair,  Nov. 4-8 at the Arts & Culture Centre. Ultimately, they will be large 18″ bowls, two mysteries being explored, snow and sky.
