I started making fused glass jewelry about five years ago after taking a class at a local bead shop. I was immediately hooked on the endless possibilities of what could be created.

 

I work primarily with dichroic glass which is made by adding a thin film of metallic oxides to the glass, producing shifting colors depending on the angle of view.

​

The glass for each piece is hand cut, kiln-fired to about 1400 degrees and then slowly cooled to produce the colorful and unique pieces shown.

​

Recently, I've started to combine the dichroic glass with metals such as copper, silver or silver clay to add another dimension to the jewelry.

​

All of my pieces are handmade - each one is unique - and sometimes a surprise!
