I began taking classes in 2010 after seeing George Shannon’s show at the conservatory in Assinboine Park in Winnipeg. Every Wednesday for years I had the privilege of going to George’s studio where he shared his knowledge and skill of all things glass. He was always open to letting students work on any project. I am grateful to him for his patience as I wasn’t always the easiest student wanting to try things that were defintely beyond my skill. I did start out with stained glass projects however I was quickly drawn to fused glass as it seemed more like water color painting to me. Where with stained glass one knows exactly how it will look in the light fused glass isn’t always as predictable. As a new artist I feel grateful to share my passion for the fused glass medium.
