January 8th, 2024 will be the start of my 6th year with Arts Bonita, previously known as Center for the Arts Bonita Springs. The original name appeared too wordy and I think the present name encompasses all the art forms in one. Weekly classes in Fused Glass will be my primary instruction along with one night events and hopefully, if the schedule allows, a day class in glass powders. Hopeful for great changes in the new year.

Lots of developments since my last post. New glass projects (gallery update coming soon) and great opportunities to sell and promote my glasswork. The Market in the Village of Clayton has been a blast. I've met so many wonderful people locally and internationally. Classes at the Thousand Islands Art Center are full and this month, we have another mosaic class on 9/7 and a" reintroduced" stained glass class on 9/12. I look forward to more creativity this winter season in Bonita Springs FL. Many great projects await!
Classes at Center for the Arts Bonita Springs, are getting off to a later start this year. Hurricane Ian has set us all back and we are praying people get their homes back and can resume life as they knew it. On a personal note, I lost my Mother on October 29th this year. Add husbands hip surgery on October 25th and needless to say, it has been a challenge.
These are the times and dates of classes for December 2022. Monday, Dec. 5th & 12th- 9:00 am - 4:00 pm (includes November makeup days) Monday, Dec. 19th- 1:00 pm - 4;00 pm (regular Monday class times) Hope to see you all then and if interested in the Wednesday class, 1:00 - 4:00 pm, call the CFABS. At this time, that class has been canceled due to low enrollment. I hope I never run out of distractions. This wonderful world of art, takes me away, to peaceful surroundings and allows my mind to rest. Namaste
Friday, June 18th is the first glass mosaic class of the 2021 season at the Thousand Islands Art Center in Clayton, NY.
Hey Friends, so sorry I've been out of touch. Time just seems to get away from us. I really have been glass busy though. Trying new techniques that have been on my wish list for a while. Below is a technique created by Judith Finn Conway & Kevin O'Toole of Optic Topics. There are so many variations of this technique, the possibilities are endless. Thanks for liking my site and I'll try to post more often.
Many will agree, that 2020 and the Covid 19 virus will be etched in our memory forever. A friend asked me to make the molecular cell out of glass. They became so popular, I made a half dozen more. To date, I have 5 left- cost .......wait for it.......... $20.20 ea.
Gold for Faith, Red for Love, Green for Hope....... this is what a glass artist creates to stay on task, to focus, to see the light at the end of the tunnel.... and there will be light. I will be wearing this bracelet I made until no more lives are lost to this virus. If you should want one made, email me. 15% of the proceeds will be donated to the Go Fund Me "Eats for EMTS". Stay well ❤️
On February 19th, 2020, we start our 3rd session of Independent Glass Fusing and Glass Bead Making on Friday, February 21st. Once you've done it, you're hooked! This session will go for 5 weeks through April 1st. Whether you're a beginner or a return artist, there is so much satisfaction in seeing what you've accomplished. Hands on help is always available. This is a new artist in my fusing class who did her very first project. Amazing work!
