Portland...Bullseye...my studio


My class ended last Saturday. It was at Bullseye Glass in Portland, OR. If you're a glass person you know all about Bullseye. They make most of the art glass we use for kiln forming, also known as fusing. So I went up to Oregon to take a dealers forum with them. It's conducted for individuals that are planning to deal their glass, become a Bullseye Resource Center and teach kiln forming. I am doing all of those things...and am very excited about it. The class was fantastic! The people at Bullseye are amazing! And I truly look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with the Bullseye Glass company.

So here's a little update on my studio plans...I'm looking for a location. I'm hopeful about one in particular. I'm planning on opening in Highland Park. I've got plans and goals and aspirations for my new adventure and as things progress I'll note them here. It's very exciting.

I do have a few little shows and classes coming up. Tomorrow I'll be at Seed in Costa Mesa for their monthly last Saturday trunk show. If you're in the area stop by and pick up a trinket or two. I've got some classes coming up too. There's one at The Beadiak, June 5-6, but that one is full. We'll be scheduling another one so keep your eyes open. Those are always a good time since they're a two day class and two days is so much better. The following Saturday, June 12, I'll be at Hands on Third for a one day bead making class. And the following Saturday, June 19, I'll be at Lighthouse Stained Glass in Hollywood. I think there's still room in those classes but you'll have to check with them.

At the end of July I'll be at the Pasadena Bead and Design Show at the Pasadena Hilton Hotel. Lots of beads and lots of good times. It's a 4 day show and the admission fee is good for all 4 days. I'll be talking that show up for the next 2 months. If you need anything right away go on over to my etsy store and see what I've got...or email me. See you all soon!!
