While my work has evolved into more creative visual art, I still consider myself a craftsman. While self taught, I mastered the basics of handmaking quality crafted pieces prior to my so called "parkour" glass fusing. My motto remains, "Noone told me I couldn't "
There is no paint or enamels involved. Each piece starts as bullseye sheet glass.
I know this glass well. Viscosity reactions firing schedules and general behavior if this glass. I've only used be glass for 13 years. Through the keeping of meticulous project notes and firing schedules I've learned to master different aspects of the glass. Though painstakingly time consuming at times, through extensive cold working and heat work methods and procedures and recipes, I've learned to create desird visual imagery from glass alone.
