Dancing Horse Glass Studio

Dancing Horse Glass Studio I am a fused glass artist located in Midlothian, Texas. I love to work with glass to make plates, bowls, and other fused glass pieces.

I have been creating fused glass pieces since 2010. I create various fused glass pieces including plates, bowls, jewelry and wall hangings. I plan on working on creating some wall hangings this year using glass frit (ground-up glass). I will post in-process pictures of the various projects as well as the completed projects.

Survived the holidays. Hopefully, everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas with their family and friends.

I completed a project as a gift for a friend’s daughter. Her daughter is pregnant and is due in February. I created the piece with COE 90 glass powder, layering mix and a piece of petal pink Bullseye glass. Silicone candy molds work great for creating shapes.

I was pleased with how the piece turned out. My friend loved it and was sure her daughter would love.

Been a long time since I posted. This year turned into a firestorm of change for me. By March, I had to return to the office for work so the final three months of my career I was driving 80 miles a day. I could not run out the door fast enough at end of June. Yes, I retired after almost 38 years with the IRS on June 28th and I have not looked back.

The first thing to go was the alarm - that was a happy change. I still take every day on a day by day basis. I have managed to plan my vacations for 2026. Still working on the exercise thing. But, I have slowly started back working in my glass studio.

My younger daughter makes tallow soap and asked for some soap dishes to sell with the soap. So, I have been busy making a dozen soap dishes in an array of colors to test out. It was a nice simple project to get started back with my glass. I could not get any glass done the first half of the year due to the stress.

I can finally post my latest completed project. I had this thought to create a cat-themed wall piece for my friend. I used glass powders with layering mix to create the cats and letters in a mold along with some noodle pieces. All of the pieces were tack fused on to a single layer of white glass then put in a frame. I was very happy with the final product and my friend was very happy. A fun project to do.

Dug out a piece I made several years ago. A corner got broken off while I was moving. I tucked it away. Finally decided to get it out to try to repair it. After a long, slow tack fuse, the piece is in one piece again. There is still a faint line where the break line was but still happy with the outcome.

It has been too long since I posted. But, changing jobs at work aka moved to a completely different division has kept me busy. So, I have not gotten a lot of time in the studio or it has come in little bits at a time.

I have mainly been creating components using layering mix, glass powder and silicone molds. Just got my latest batch out of the kiln.

While working on getting the big kiln up and working, I have been making components with glass powder and UGC Layering Mix. Over fired the first batch (forgot my medium kiln runs hot) but the second batch looks great. The last picture is the second batch.

Finished repairing my big kiln this weekend. Seeing all eight elements glowing when I tested the kiln while the lid was off made my heart happy. 😁😁 (The back 4 did not work because one connection burnt out - the elements are chained together 4 & 4).

Completed another batch of Freeze n Fuse flowers, leaves and, in this batch, a couple of hummingbirds. The first picture is before firing. The second and third pictures are after firing. Pretty pleased with how they came out.

I have been busily working on filling molds with glass paste to make flowers, leaves hummingbirds, etc. But, I have run into a slight hiccup - I was firing ground up glass to make glass lace. My kiln gave me an error message and would not fire up to 1480 degrees. Called the kiln company, opened up the boxes on the kiln holding the connectors for the heating elements and figured out that I needed to replace one element and fix one connection on the side of the kiln. Ordered the element and fixed the one broken connection. Now, I wait...the big kiln will be down for a couple of weeks, probably.

Completed a freeze n fuse project for a friend. She wanted something unique for her mother for Christmas. I was pleased with how it turned out. The last picture is of the prepped base before I added the glass succulents. Going to have to do more of these. Fun project.
