Fall Open House


I am excited to introduce my glass work to new friends and neighbors in Chicago this coming Sunday. I have planned two open house/trunk shows to show off my work and get some exposure before the holidays. It is fun to be able to set up our huge living and dining room area with vignettes of my glass. I will have lamps, fused dishes, jewelry and my latest GREEN UP series of recycled functional glass on display and for sale.

This type of show/sale is very reminescent of my time assisting jewelry designer Lee Brooks with his open house parties in Berkeley almost ten years ago. There was so much great energy and fun at their open studios, plus true appreciation for handcrafted artwork. I am hoping for the start of some similar success in the next two weeks.
