KILN-FORMING


Hi, and thank you for visiting my website.  My name is Kim and I live in sunny Tampa, FL along with my husband, son, 2 dogs and a cat.  I have always had a fascination with art glass.  I love the feel of a beautiful glass art pendant around my neck.  So smooth and cool to the touch. I call them my worry stones, rubbing them calms me.  

While surfing the net one day - I came across a site where you could buy supplies and instructions on how to make glass art beads.  Needless to say, after that first art glass bead I was "hooked".  I still have that first glass  bead, as ugly as it is, I cherish it.

From glass bead making I began to explore other realms of glass.  Lampworking, stained, mosaic and finally my passion kiln-forming.  Taking a blank sheet of glass and layering other glass and inclusions - working in 1600 degree heat and manipulating the molten glass into what you want  Perhaps I should say what the glass wants, as glass has a mind of it's own and never ceases to amaze me - it more or less tells you what it wants to be.

In every piece of glass art I make a little piece of my  hear, soul and DNA can be found. Inspiration for my art glass pieces come from everywhere.  Sunny or rainy day, moods and music all play a part in the creation.
