“I have always felt that beautiful handcrafted glass deserved a equally beautiful handcrafted finish. So, I found my way to metalworking.
While living in the southwest, I studied silver-smithing in Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. I wanted to learn how to bezel set glass with sterling silver.
After moving to North Carolina and enrolling in the College of the Albemarle (COA) I learned other ways to bring glass and metal together. Copper and brass are both metals that can be used to finish glass designs.”
