In this series, the artists working at Creative Gateways give us a behind-the-scenes insight into their current works in progress, inspiration and creative challenges. Today, Terry’s sharing how he’s playing with using an established technique for bowl making in a different context: the light sconce. It was one of my professors at UCLA who cracked…
As you’ll see from the beautiful array of colors available in our store, raindrop bowls are a well-established part of AMusinGlass’s repertoire. But back in 2014, when the process was brand new to us, they didn’t even have a name yet. Today I’m sharing the story behind the first raindrop bowl I made – when…
A new fused glass garden stake project is unfolding in the AMusinGlass studio. Here's a peek behind the scenes at the work in progress.
About a week and a half ago, I attended a fused glass class at the Santa Fe Bullseye Resource Center called “Working Without Expectation,” taught by Catharine Newell.

Between the studio construction and my recent focus on the Sedona Arts Festival last weekend, I haven’t made time to post new work here in quite a while. Here’s the first of several posts to catch you up on what we’ve been up to in the studio lately. The picture to the left is my…
If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been that I haven’t posted in a while, I’ve mostly been in the studio (with the brief exception of a houseboat trip on Lake Powell) frantically making work for my next show. If you’re in town next weekend, Sedona will be hosting the 2015 Sedona Arts Festival again and…
