Margie fell in love with fused glass after taking several classes back in 2012! She has been honing her skills through experience and online courses, expanding her techniques for 15 years, and showcasing her work in outdoor art fairs. When asked recently, " Why I teach?" Margie had this to say: Creative arts and music are deeply embedded in my family but so is teaching. I discovered early on that fused glass offered people of any skill level an opportunity to be successful in creating beautiful items given some instruction in a fun, peaceful environment. I created my studio primarily to teach. As my husband advised about my retirement, 'Don't do anything that doesn't bring you joy' I can honestly say that I found a treasure trove of joy watching my students experience this artistic medium!"
