Torch + Tonic creates one-of-a-kind fused glass pendants and tree charms: beach glass pendants and creations collected from the shores of Lake Huron. New work includes lampwork beads created using recycled glass. Beginning with stained glass and moving into fused glass, my love for glass has continued for over a decade. Most recently, creating lamp glass beads with a torch.Cutting tools and a kiln are used to create fused glass pieces. I also melt found beach glass with my torch to make beautiful beads. Walks along the beach collecting glass to be drilled to create pendants and treasures from Lake Huron.
