Visual Art – Honolulu

I am a fused glass artist. I make plates, bowls, sun catchers, wall panels and other items and sell to a few shops on Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Lanai and CA and at a few larger local shows throughout the year. When I graduated from college in Georgia, I did not imagine that I would be doing this. I spent years moving as a military wife, while raising my 3 kids. I started fusing glass as a hobby and firing it at a local military craft center. Five years later, I realized that this was my calling so I got my own kiln and worked in my garage. In 2009, I started Julie\'s Hot Glass and still work from my garage. I take classes each year at the Las Vegas Glass and Bead Expo to learn new techniques. I keep finding new ways to manipulate glass and plan to make more larger works in the coming year.
