I have always loved the way that glass, particularly colored glass, interacts with light.  I never thought about creating any of these wonderful jewels myself until, looking for an activity to spark enthusiasm after retirement, I took an afternoon workshop at Bullseye Glass in Emeryville.  One plate later I was hooked.  

I still love it, more than ever, and am always exploring new

techniques and ideas.  

As part of that exploring I have recently started private glassblowing lessons, and it seems that there is always something more to explore.
