| Welcome to Puddy Tat Glass ! |
| Seems like everybody wants to move to Coquille...everybody in my family anyway. We just got my sister moved up on the 2nd of June and now my son has decided to do the same. So it's been hectic around the ole studio lately, in fact I've still got some of my sisters moving boxes out there. I'm really looking forward to when things get back to normal around here and I get back to the torch. I've managed to keep up with my custom orders but just haven't had much time to add new items to this site. Hopefully that'll change soon. And that new Nikon D90 I just got, just broke ! Yep, I can't even take photos of my lampwork right now. Just sent it back down to CA for repairs so hopefully I'll have it back in the next couple of weeks. If it's not one thing...it's another. |

| ABOUT ME & MY STUDIO My name is Bonnie and I've been doing glass art/crafts since about 1990. I took my first lampworking class at the Eugene Glass School and as soon as I lit my torch and that huge ball of flaming gas shot across the work table, I was hooked...by the way, if a huge ball of flaming gas shoots out of your torch, you're doing something WRONG! I'm a member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers and I am a registered Self-Representing Glass Artist. All of my beads and fused items are made with Bullseye premium glass, made right here in Oregon. The glass is a little stiffer and more expensive than the imported glasses, but I find it works wonderfully for sculptural items and it allows me to put flameworked elements into my fused art. All of my beads are made using a GTT Lynx surface mix (oxygen/propane) torch. I have an On-Site Pro4 oxygen generator that supplies all the oxygen I need and two digitally controlled AIM bead kilns for proper annealing of all lampworked art. Fused pieces are made using a Denver Glass digitally controlled kiln. I love making handmade lampwork beads and beautiful fused pieces, but I'm a "hobbyist" so high production isn't my thing. This isn't how I make my living, it's how I make myself happy and it's how I relax. I'll try to put up new pieces every week, but if the weather gets good and I've got things like deer fencing to do...well, I've also got to work. Thank you so much for visiting my website. |
| This is my lampworking station. It was only this neat and clean once so it's a good thing I took a photo then so I could share it with you now. |
| I had envisioned that my light table would be used for laying out fusing projects (like I used to do when I did stained glass), but for the longest time it's been covered with headpins, silver wire, beads, etc. |
