The Artist and every other position in this business. Luckily, it is fun and helps to keep me out of trouble.
I worked over 35 years in the food and construction industries. During that period, I collected paperweights. Glass enchants me. Even though glass is a rigid material, when creatively designed, glass flows, moves and even dances in the mind’s eye. One day a glass artist moved into town and began offering glass blowing classes. I signed up and began to melt glass into simple shapes. Then color was added! I could not believe that I could become an artist and make glass creations.
Then I built my own space and now can work whenever I like to make inflexible objects of art that flow, move and dance before other people’s eyes.
About a year later I took a glass fusing class. I loved it. There were more opportunities to work with glass in a different way. I started selling at craft fairs and farmer’s markets. That was so much fun to hear feedback and meet people. But the world changed a bit in 2020, so now I sell online too.
Learn to Create a Tray
Watch a fused glass tray being created from cutting the glass to serving the cheese and crackers. Dave explains the process of fusing glass and gives a bit on insight to his creative thinking.

Dave starts by selecting the glass and goes through the process until the serving tray is done.
See why fusing glass is so much fun for Dave.
I created this video myself and I certainly am a novice film maker. Thank goodness I am better at fusing glass.

“When in the kiln, the heat changes things: bubbles occur, straight lines soften, shapes change, sometimes even the color changes.”
It is always a surprise when I open the kiln door.
