Hello!
I'm happy to say that last night I actually used the glass studio that I've been working on for the past year to make some glass! I have never gotten emotional over coldworking before but I'm not gonna lie, it was kind of a special moment. Even if I couldn't get a good picture.
I'm currently working on a batch of awards for CAMH hospital called the Transforming Lives Awards. I've made them a few times in the past but this is the first time I've done it in my own space. Mine! Feeling pretty great today More to come!

Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some older video content that I produced during my time at Harbourfront Centre's Glassblowing Studio. I feel blessed to have been able to spend those years surrounded by creative colleagues that eventually became close friends. I would highly suggest any creative professional consider applying for a residency down there as there is no place quite like it. The support that they showed (and continue to show) me has been vital in my creative career. I was sad to leave but honored to be asked to speak at their annual Viva Vocé event back in 2012. Click below to see the video! It's in two parts.
Have a great week!
