I was very fortunate to begin learning the art and craft of glassblowing in college and then spend 4 years teaching it on Oahu in an open air studio as I simultaneously competed in open ocean swimming. Immersed in ocean water and molten glass was an epic adventure. And now 30+ years later I’ve returned to the love affair. It’s been an epic affirmation of life to face the fire again despite life altering health problems caused by the Lymes disease. The glass is teaching me so much and I couldn’t be happier about it.
