I am so incredibly honored to be the recipient of The 2012 Stephen Procter Fellowship at The Glass Workshop of Australia National University. I will be traveling to Canberra this July and August to make work using local recycled glass that I will flamework and hot-sculpt into compositions and installations. I am so excited to spend time exchanging information with the distinguished faculty and students of ANU.

On March 18th I will be the moderator for the "Ask the Experts" panel discussion at The International Flameworking Conference held at Salem Community College. The panel includes four distinguished and knowledgeable members of the glass community: Paul Stankard, Milon Townsend, Sally Prasch, and Andrew Page.

These four panelists cover a huge basis of expertise on a variety of glass inquisitions. I am collecting questions to ask the panelists.

Please email me with any possible question and I will try to include it in the panel as well as relay you the answer.

I am incredibly excited to be the TA for the upcoming Lucio Bubacco and Paul Stankard class at Corning this winter. It is session 3 in January. Not only is this going to be a killer class but my good friends Jessica Jane Julius and Erica Rosenfeld will be teaching a class in the hotshop next door. So awesome.
I highly recommend Corning for all your educational glass needs. The studio and staff are top notch.

After a long summer away I am very excited to be back in Philly for an exciting fall season. This semester I am very honored to be co-teaching a class with Paul Stankard at Salem Community College. Also, I will be teaching an Intro/Intermediate class at Tyler School of Art as well as be the artist in residence at the studio for the semester.

Salem has also asked me to be on the board of the 2012 International Flameworking Conference held this March in Carney's Point, New Jersey. So, if anyone reading this has any ideas for the conference please let me know and I will be sure to pass them along.

I will be the teaching assistant in the flameshop this summer for Gianni Toso at The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass. This is the third class I will be TA'ing for Gianni at Corning and I know from experience it will be an amazing, exciting, and hilarious two weeks. Bill Gudenrath will also be teaching session 7 in the hot shop which will make for excellent times. Yay Glass Camp!

Oh! Also, Corning did a live stream video of one of Gianni's demos which can now be found in the video archives. I tried to stay off camera as much as possible but you can see him making me crack up at one point, as usual.
