So, in the meantime, I am able to host 10-15 people group events at my home studio and small workshops are held Saturday mornings. Weather permitting of course because they are held outside. We will be under a canopy. This will provide shade from sunlight and shelter from the rain/wind. Schedule changes will apply according to weather. If you are a night owl. I will be holding my workshops in the evenings at a community glassblowing studio in Vancouver, WA.

In the future, once I am completely mobile; meaning once I have a truck and trailer, I will be able to the take the glass workshops and private events to your space of choosing. I will be able to host large events and small workshops in peoples driveways, at public school events, courtyards, festivals, outside markets, breweries, wineries, wedding event spaces. You name it!

Please stay tuned in. I will be starting a crowd funding campaign in September where you will have a chance to help me become a fully mobile glassblowing studio!! There will rewards and fun things honored in your name if you help back my endeavor to become a mobile glass shop!

Thanks so much for reading and have a relaxing Saturday folks! Much love.

The Mobile Furnace is Up & Running!!!

The Glass Current : A Mobile Glassblowing Studio

Hi Everyone! The Glass Current, a mobile glassblowing studio is up and running. I am currently taking NEW bookings for Saturday mornings. Wahoooo! They will be 3-hour workshops from 10am to 1pm. For more info on dates and workshop details, please click the link below!


I am so excited to show you all my new studio. It is currently not quite mobile yet, but it is running! I will be holding my workshops in the meantime outside in my home studio backyard. Until I can raise enough money to buy a truck and trailer. Once I have those ducks in a row, then The Glass Current can go to all sorts of different locations. I will essentially be able to bring the shop to you! Private party events, festivals, markets, public school happenings, you name it!

To help me get to my goal of being mobile, I am looking for some help from my community.

I will be previewing, announcing and unveiling a crowd funding platform where you can hear my story, watch a fun video on how my glass studio will work and see me teaching glassblowing. Then you will have an option of helping to back my project with funds that will go towards a trailer and a truck. So the glass studio can travel to different locations.

I will be releasing more info within the next couple of months and have the crowd funding site up and running by the end of September! Keep an eye out for that and thank you again for following me on my glassy journey!

Much Love

Inside Tip for Holiday Shipping Times!!

I heard from a little birdie who works for a courier company that shipping times are already getting backed up for online shopping and they will continue to be backed up through the holidays. All the more reason to get your holiday shopping done early!!! The earlier the better!

Since Covid hit, online shopping has become even more and more popular, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still support your local small businesses. A lot of us small businesses have not had the chance to sell our work in markets this year due to Covid. So this year, the majority of us have adapted to online shopping websites!!!! If you are an advocate of supporting small, local, BIPOC-owned and/or female-owned businesses then take a look at these various sites I have listed below. As well as my website for handcrafted unique glassblown artwares made in Portland, Oregon!

Happy November!
