Welcome
Hi! Welcome to AWinburnART.
Please don’t mind the dust, the site is still under construction but I wanted to get it up so you can visit. There’s not much to look at yet but I’m just starting out and I’ll post things as I get them done. I expect my larger kiln (aka Glory) to arrive next week and after a little bit of getting to know each other, Glory and I will be on a roll. Please, if you have any questions contact me and I’ll be happy to help. Also, be sure to join my mailing list for newsletters so you’ll be the first know about new pieces and events.

Always Grateful,

Inspired Design
Just what it says, things that inspire me, a little backstory of the work and a few images of the process. Want the entire story? Be sure to join my mailing list for newsletters and be the first to know.
Patches
Patches is a set of four coasters, aka table art. They began as a way to learn the fusing process using my tiny kiln which I lovingly call Itty Bitty. It is an analog kiln and a bit tricky to keep within the parameters of specific temperature ranges during the various steps of firing. Literally turning it on and off for one to two minutes at a time at certain points for several hours. The largest piece it can fuse is 5.5 in x 5.5 in. After some trial and error I finally figured out which glass plays together well (as some scraps were not meant to be fused with others) and got them fully fused. Don't count me out, I'm just getting started and have more to learn, but it will only get better from here. Patches is made of scrap pieces of multi-colored, some patterned, some opaque, some translucent, and some transparent glass.

Ingrained
I saw this in an office building. The greater part of a large wall was covered in these wood end grain tiles. As a nature lover, I was enthralled at once how the grain and the shape of tiles played and created a sort of dance. I have other pieces lined up for firing as soon as I get Glory, my new larger kiln, but this Inspiration is in currently in the design phase and soon I'll be cutting the glass.
