I started jewelry making by accident.  I was in nursing school and needed a small project to rest my brain from studying.  Enter beading.  Living in North Dakota at the time, beads were a rare resource, so I repurposed found items and practiced a LOT!  I was hooked and grew my craft but felt that I wanted more, so I taught myself new techniques with smaller beads using peyote stitch and loom beading.

I was beading very happily for about 5 years when I saw a short program on glass fusing and was very intrigued.  I did a lot of research and was able to purchase my first kiln and it fit in my microwave.   Not having a lot of resources to lean on while I was starting this craft it was a lot of trial and error.  To be honest, more error than anything else.  Learning quickly from my mistakes I quickly outgrew my microwave kiln and purchased my first large kiln and started making larger projects, however jewelry is still my passion.  I currently have 2 kilns for my fused glass projects and strive to learn new techniques every chance I get.

If time permits, I will have an interactive bracelet making demonstration, or schedule an appointment around the tour dates to make these bracelets with a small group of friends.  Also follow my Facebook page for updates on new designs and dates of my other events for the summer and fall.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or to make an appointment.
