Admittedly, I am a bona fied glass junkie. After my third glass blowing class at Mass Art, my teacher said “You need to go find a furnace.” So I did. I took private lessons, and then hung around the studio so much that I became assistant by default. Finally, my mentor/slave driver closed his studio to take a teaching position (aka “real job”). Thats when I made the decision to open my own studio.  It’s been a blast! I hope you enjoy the following pictures of the Glass Shack when it was under construction, and some current pictures of glass works in progress. This section will be kept updated so please check back to see what’s new.
