Sweet Tangerine Glass

My love for crafting began long before it ever became a business. Creating with my hands was always my escape — a way to slow down, express myself, and bring a little more color into the world. Over time, that passion grew from a personal outlet into something I wanted to share with others. The moment I made my first piece that truly felt like “me, ” I knew I had found my place. Teaching has been at the heart of my life for over 20 years. I spent two decades in a traditional classroom, and when I stepped into the world of craft education, I brought every bit of that experience with me. My favorite part is watching students come in unsure or nervous and walk out glowing with pride over something they created. Most people are surprised to learn that we don’t paint the glass in stained glass artwork. All those rich colors and textures are created during the glass-making process — not added on afterward. It’s more like building a glowing puzzle than painting — and that’s what makes it so magical.With over 20 years of teaching experience and a deep love for hands-on creativity, I’ve taught countless students across classes, private events, and community workshops. I’m also honored to have been nominated for Best New Business and Best Art Studio in Hays County and Wimberley, a recognition that means so much because it comes from community support.At the heart of my studio in Wimberley, TX is connection — creating an environment where people can relax, try something new, and walk away with both a memory and a masterpiece. My studio isn’t just about making art; it’s about building confidence, joy, and community through creativity.
