I’ve made a few new raindrop bowls lately, and the image to the left shows off the new green raindrop bowl that I completed a few days prior to the Sedona Arts Festival show I attended a few weeks ago. I’ve been playing with putting more clear in the bottom layer of the bowl to…
A bit over a year ago, I posted the picture on the left as I blogged about my “Recent kiln disaster” while trying to make a pair of backsplash tiles. In that post, I had mentioned that there was no way to save the piece with the splits in it. Terry and I have collaborated…
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.

The Glass Art Society (GAS), a glass organization formed in the 1960’s – originally made up of all glassblowers – puts on an annual conference that rotates through cities in America and abroad. This year, the 44th annual conference was held in San Jose, which is always a fun city for me to go visit…
Bullseye Glass Company holds a biannual glass conference that they call BECon. It was held in their Bay Area Resource Center this year in conjunction with the annual Glass Art Society (GAS) conference held in San Jose two days later. I’ll talk about the GAS conference in my next post. In this post, I’ll share…
