This presentation explores a 40-year journey with various types of glass: from dumpstered plate glass, to container glass, to the clarity of Gaffer lead crystal, to the cornucopia of Bullseye. My mission has always been to expand glass's emotional palette, using it to express personal history, love, healing, aging, and letting go. I’ll share images of techniques and leave ample time for questions. Glass is a hard mother, but if you follow her simple rules, she will reward you with endless possibilities. I guarantee it.
