My experiences with Historic Crafts.
Reversed Tile Glass - Made from clay carved by a fan guard pressed by a dining table. The glass was obtained from donated stained glass and the kiln firing time was donated by Jamie Boyd.

My very first piece
My 2nd piece, it is already gaining a quality look to it.
My coat hanger is displayed in a home, but here is the day I worked on some things. Quality smithing shop, and thanks to the Curl's for opening my life back up to metal.
My very first piece
Smithing
​​
I took to Blacksmithing right away. I'm a natural at pounding hammers. Not much you can break. When I do stained glass the day after I pound metal I end up with quite a few cuts.
Restoration
​​
I've gotten some time to rip windows down to the simple boards that they are composed of and then rebuild them from scratch. These are some photos of learning the craft of safety as well. After this workshop I stopped hacking stuff up after each project, pricelss education.
Glass

These workshops and class projects lead to the development of my glass skills and the introduction of stainedgrass.com, a company and website that will showcase glass art of all types.

Keep your hands busy. It is what a few friends of mine have always said. Art keeps me busy and I like to create things not often seen.
