My dad was making glass and I learned to make a few small things here and there, but not a whole lot. 

In 2023, I wanted to save money for a computer. My dad offered to teach me how to make pumpkins. After I made the first 50 or so, they started looking a little better, and I moved on to making smaller marbles, like hobnails.

Once I had a good inventory, I started to attend some art markets to sell my art. I was becoming more skilled, so I moved on to vortex marbles, gnomes, and other stuff. Now I have a pretty good variety of glass art that I like to make and sell. It’s a pretty fun hobby, and I love to share it with people at art markets and online markets through marble hunting groups. I made hundreds of pieces to get them to look how they do today, and I’m always making more.
