i started playing with glass at the start of 2005. i have an associates degree in art but no formal lessons in glass blowing. i am self-taught with only a few books and videos to guide me. i hope to learn from other artists here and look forward to your comments on my work.

Kilo of Cane

Kilo of Cane

Made this run of canes a while back and never got around to posting them here.

It has taken countless hours of research, practice, failures and triumphs to get my milli work where I wanted it but finally I feel confident with my skills in this facet of lampworking and look forward to continuing to push myself. I never would have been able to figure out everything that goes into making these without the help and encouragement from a few fellow artists so I would like to say thanks to, AK, Dave Strobel, Travis Chaudoir, the melting pot and anyone who has ever purchased and used my canes.

thanks for looking

reptile paperweights

an evil toad and a scared lizard. my first peperweights were alot of fun. i wish there was a market for them. i had a bad experience making the toad. it slapped the front of my torch causing $250 in repairs. that's why he looks so pissed, my emotions came through.
