I recently updated my CV and LinkedIn profile to reference Glass Elements in the past tense. It’s odd. See, the thing is, this isn’t the definitive END. I’ve only put the Glass Elements studio and shop on hiatus. But since I don’t have a studio here and all of my favorite tools and equipment are... Continue Reading →
Days 46-63 of #100DaysofDublinDoors On my quest to fulfill my #100DayProject and capture #100DaysofDublinDoors, there has been one color so far that has given me some trouble. That color? Orange.

Mary introduced us to the museum’s glorious collection of wood type and the basics of inking and printing by hand to start. It was immediately satisfying to see the texture of old wood type...

Hi friends! Days 19-24 of #100DaysofDublinDoors are all about the greens. I found some vibrant stunners & really cool looking windows, too. The one named "Ashburton" is my fave from the above set... which is yours? An integral and fun part of the #100DayProject mindset is to celebrate the small milestones of continuing with a...

I've never lived close enough to walk to the shore daily. Drive, sure---I did grow up in Eastern CT and just spent the last decade+ on the West Coast, so I haven't been land-locked by any means. But we weren't really walking distance to the shore. OK, so Jon walking distance---but he's a walking machine... Continue Reading →
