We toured. We tie-dyed. We walked and hiked. We painted shoes. We bought art. We sailed on the Bluenose II. We ate sooo much lobster! From June 26 to 29, eleven Pyros and three VIHs (Very Important Husbands) enjoyed all that Lunenburg had to offer, thanks to the excellent organizing and hospitality of Susan Otto-Bain…
the Thailand Pyros On January 11th, a group of very excited Pyros met at YVR to begin their trip to Thailand. They called themselves the Thailand Pyros. The 16-hour flight did nothing to dampen their enthusiasm but free wine on the flight helped with sleeping! They arrived in Bangkok in the early morning hours of…

I enjoy up-cycling and re-purposing materials, playing and manipulating molten glass, silversmithing, and learning and experimenting with new techniques. Each piece is individual… unique… in its own way. I have always loved jewelry and…
Here you go — cleaned up and ready to drop into Kadence using standard blocks (Headings, Paragraphs, Columns, Image, Gallery). I’ve corrected spacing, flow, and punctuation while keeping Pat’s voice intact. Glass is light, love, color, possibility, magic. Humankind has a long history of using glass to adorn, to express, to protect, and to defend….
Each artist comes to the table with new and innovative techniques and styles. In this blog, our featured artist shares what is in their heart and dreams. We are excited to feature Susan Otto-Bain as our first artist. Q: How long have you worked in glass? I have been working in glass for about 14…
