I hope you’ll enjoy looking at my work as much as I enjoy creating it!
I first learned Stained Glass work in the early 80’s! In 2014 I took it up again and discovered the joy of Fusing Glass, Flameworking Glass and making Stained Glass Lamps! Building a lampshade is a lot of work but it’s incredibly cool to be able to do!
You can see & buy some of my jewelry if you come by Sounds Incredible at 2012 North Union, Ponca City, Oklahoma.
Lampworking is a type of glasswork where a torch or lamp is primarily used to melt the glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is also known as flameworking or torchworking, as the modern practice no longer uses oil-fueled lamps.
Playing with fire…… I’m trying to be careful with kevlar heat resistant sleeves, leather apron and didymium lenses to protect my eyes from the sodium flare, when the glass is in the flame. My Lampwork Bench

Glass Rod Storage – old chair base with a plywood top, edged with aluminum flashing and filled with cut PVC pipe of varying lengths that give easy access to my glass while working.
