ALTA ARTGLASS

2001 - honey, just think of all the money i'll save Ok, I don't think he was that gullible, but I convinced my husband that investing in a deep octagonal kiln to be able to make fixtures for the house we were building was a good idea. I have made many wall sconces, switch-plates and sculptural items for our home, and now I also create custom items for others. My latest craze is color bars, casting and cold-work. I am a member of the Glass Art Society, and enjoy interacting with the truly amazing artists of that organisation... I love working with glass and the variety of techniques you can combine to create art when using a kiln or torch. It can be quite technical, and a good understanding of the scientific method is necessary to learn and improve your skills. Some might find that it affects their spontaneity, but I find it to be the right blend of creativity and challenge.
