Glass Flameworkers and Wannabes!
Act now!


There are still spots open in the October 14 & 15 "Lampwork Glass with Lisa St. Martin" workshop, but you need to register!

Our gallery will be transformed into a working glass studio for this event while renowned bead artist Lisa St. Martin teaches this exciting hands-on course for beginning and continuing glass artisans. The fee for this workshop is $185 for DRA members ($205 for non-members). For more information, contact: Joan Ulrich at ulrichclay@aol.com or Cell 703-229-3563. For info about Lisa St. Martin, visit: www.glassbeads.com

Lampwork Glass Class
Glass Flameworkers Workshop October 14-15

On October 14-15, Lisa St. Martin will bring her working glass studio to The DRA gallery for a two-day workshop. Each participant will have his own workstation. Torches, tools and glass will be provided.

Lisa happily welcomes all skill levels, however this will be an ideal setting for a beginner wanting to try their hand at this ancient craft with minimal investment. You’ll have the opportunity to practice shaping the glass beads, with tools (and gravity!), decorating your pieces with fine strands of contrasting colors applied as stripes or dots. As the weekend progresses you’ll become more proficient in moving the glass in the flame, forming the beads and blending colors.

As you gain confidence using the materials, you can start imagining and designing your own beads. Lisa will help you think through construction of your design for optimal success. The experienced student can work with Lisa one-on-one to learn more advanced skills and techniques, so come ready with your current challenges. If you’d appreciate some constructive criticism, bring samples of your work.

Learn more about Lisa St. Martin at her website www.glassbeads.com.

The workshop will take place on Saturday and Sunday, October 14-15, 2006 at the DRA gallery. 10 AM-5 PM. Fee is $185 for DRA members, $205 for non-members.

All materials will be provided, please bring a sack lunch. Maximum of 8 participants, pre-registration required. To register, contact Joan Ulrich at ulrichclay@aol.com or call Joan at 703.660.2382.

Online store for arts and such.


I have recently updated my Etsy.com shop. Check it out.

I have a few new small sculpture pieces.

Private Home/ Public Art

Here is a fun idea for some art for the public to see in the city.

Check out the site here


The Private Home/Public Art Project features artists who use the outside of their homes and studios to exhibit work. PHP Artists have complete aesthetic control over the work and direct and immediate access to the public. The public, in turn, benefits from a diverse, intellectually invigorating streetscape. The only criteria are that the work is designed as public art, preferably site-specific, and is accessible 24/7.
