Many of you know that after my studio fire, I moved my glass production and business to Bellows Falls, Vermont. The past 5 years has been a time for rebuilding and re-invention, a time for reflection and reassessment. It’s been a great decision to move and a way of turning a terrible event into a positive chance for renewal, creating new opportunities for sustainability and creative development. But in all this change, I’ve come to realize that I’ve outgrown the name Tsuga Studios. I realize my move and the evolution of my glass would not be complete without identifying a new name. I wanted the word Glass in the title, I also wanted to honor my family heritage in glassmaking while celebrating the green energy source from which I now create my glass art.
