The
Made in Muskoka Christmas Show and Sale
is fast approaching, and my management partner Miranda and I have been busy with
organizing and promoting this event, held annually at Huntsville’s historic Sutherland
Hall. Check out our facebook page as
well as our website with photos
featuring incredible products you’ll find at the show, as well as a gift guide
and info on all of our exhibitors.
I’ve
also been finishing up my own newest work for the show. Celestial events seem to be the theme this
year for me, with Northern Lights, sunsets, and more of my “cosmic bowls”. Every piece is different, and each of my
customers will go home with a truly “one of a kind” work of glass art. For those who like their art more “down to
earth”, I have some floral free-standing art pieces featuring seasonal Muskoka wildflowers,
a limited supply of Christmas ornaments
and pins, and my ever-popular colourful spoon rests! See me at Made in Muskoka Christmas, Huntsville, December
11-13.
Here’s
a kiln load ready for slumping. You may
wonder why the pink background. The “kiln
wash” I use to keep the glass from sticking to the surface it’s fired on, has a
dye in it, which burns out upon firing.
This way I can tell which molds and kiln shelves need to be
re-coated. There are many jobs that go
into craft besides the creative work of design. Coating kiln shelves and
molds is one of the more mundane tasks in my studio.
