I've just recently begun to fuse glass, and these are the results of my first attempts!

I wire-wrapped glass beads to accompany the fused pendant in this necklace I made for my sister-in-law.

My name is Carrie Strope, and I'm an artist currently residing in the Napa Valley. I've always had an attraction to glass art, but only recently have I begun to explore the field. I had been looking to learn about glass when I stumbled upon a local glass studio, Michele Mitcavish's glass studio, that offered a beginning fusing class throught the adult education school in Napa. Immediately, I enrolled in the class. Since then, I have taken a glass beadmaking class and frequented open studio night on a weekly basis. In addition to the glass fusing class, I was able to take a glass paperweight class with Saint Helena glass artist, Ed Breed. This fall, he is collaborating with Michele's studio to offer his classes in Napa, and I am looking forward to making my third set of paperweights, inching my way towards glass blowing! Soon, I will be adding stained glass, a new technique by Bryan Northup, 'Pattern Bar Plate and Kiln Casting,' and working with Silver Art Clay to my resume. www.CalyxAnn.com
