I first tried glassblowing in my friend Shane S.'s garage in 2000, but most of my pendant technique came from the late great Larry Schultz at Ugly Rumors in Durham, NC. I bought my first torch in 2003 and Shane was nice enough to show me the ropes. Currently I work with my boyfriend Matt Tyner who is really good after just two years, check out his page too. Thanks for looking. Glass on!!
