Now that the frantic rush to get art finished and shipped for the Aspen Art Show is done (whew!), the studio has calmed down a bit. I get to sleep more (OK, I’m sleeping just as much as I did before, it’s just with fewer interruptions now) and Roger’s been spending time in the back…

Roger’s been cranky recently because he’s had to make three new pieces for a show that’s coming up at the end of July. You would think that this would make him happy and excited, but it hasn’t. (I secretly think he loves the drama, but don’t tell him I said that.) At the studio, it’s…

So I may have been hasty with the criticism in my last post. I’m rarely wrong, but when it does happen, I admit it. For example, that one time in 2013, I was happy to concede that it wasn’t a bunny I chased up the tree. It was the neighbor’s cat. Who knew that bunnies…

Roger’s off and away from me again, this time to California at the Bullseye Resource Center from September 6-10, 2018. Again, this popular class will feature a final and fifth half day of…

Roger tends to take longer to create his pieces these days, but he’s still making some amazing work. This is from one of his newest pieces, and is called Isthmus, which is hard for humans to say, let along dogs. He started with an image of adorable moi and a previous palette for inspiration,…

It’s been a long, hot summer already here at Roger Thomas Glass. Seriously. It hits 80 degrees before noon, and for a large, black dog of my stature who is used to Pacific Northwest summers? That is not cool. I spend a lot of my time sprawled out on the cement floor in the middle…
Continue Reading →I’m so excited! Everyone has heard of the SGAA, right? The Stained Glass Association of America? Roger will be giving a lecture at their 2015 conference, which will be held right here in Portland, OR at the DoubleTree at Lloyd Center from June 10 – 12. He’s going to be talking about Fusing Glass on…

by Ingrid the Studio Dog He did send in reports while he was at SOFA. I was relaxing on my freshly cleaned bedding (he feels guilty before he goes on a trip, and washes my various towels and rugs before he leaves), and he was busy schmoozing and entertaining, but he did manage to share. Something about…

by Ingrid the Studio Dog Of course, this means he’s leaving me. From November 6th – November 9th, to be exact, he’ll be in Chicago with PISMO Fine Art Glass and Sandy Sardella. That’s nearly FOUR whole days. He doesn’t seem to care. He’s all “SOFA this…” and “SOFA that…”, and “OMG, what am…

And you know what that means… That’s right. No love for the Ingrid. But even I have to admit it looks good. We were out for a walk the other day. I prefer the parks, so I can chase balls and squirrels, but walking along the Columbia Slough is nice, too. And sometimes we head…
