My latest experiments

So, I've just taken my latest batch of soon-to-be glass pendants out of the kiln to see what's happened...I'm pleased! The garden series is going well, and I've got an idea of how I'll make the grapes look more like grapes (I'm going to incorporate them into a beaded necklace of leaves and grapes).
Anywho, enjoy!
Thanks for looking!

From a dream... 192 x 272 pixels (12 KB) 0 Comments I woke up one morning with a pendant of circles in my head. The first attempt, with only one layer of glass, became distorted in the kiln. But now, after a second attempt, I know to use two layers in the future!

Contact Artist

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
