glitzyglass's Profile

Bio

Glitzy Glass Studio is my "baby". Once my son was all grown up and married I committed myself more and more to seeing GG grow up too!

Glass has been molded and shaped in this artist studio since 1993. Beginning with small stained glass items and then gradually growing into a Hot Torch Studio about a year later.

The love of glass has been a part of my life for many years. I enjoy the look and feel of an unworked piece and I find that I even dream of designs when I am not at the torch. Other lampworkers seem to "suffer" from this same malady and I am sure that designers dream of finished jewels all the time.

At present I do not do shows or fairs, but work with retail shops in the area and with talented designers all across the globe. I find that this has more than filled my days. I have been able to take instruction with Sally Prasche, Bandu Scott Dunham and a list of others. But, it is my goal to develop a style that is my own while taking advantage of what my instructors have taught me.

The Studio also has an electroforming and silversmith area that I visit from time to time. But my main focus and love is working in front of the torch.

This dream of mine would not have been possible without my family's love and support. There were many sacrifices in the beginning and I will always be grateful to them for allowing me to follow my heart.

I take great pride in my work and believe that each designer that passes through these virtual doors is a team member and partner of mine. It is my hope that the beads and other glass designs created in Gltizy Glass Studio will enhance your dreams and help your artistic creations come to life.
