Linz and I are pumped to tell you about another(!) series we are adding to Sweet Athena. It seems no matter how many crafts we try and create each season, there is always more to…
Fusing Glass
I was recently lucky enough to take an afternoon art class with one of my favorite artists, my dad! He signed us up to take an ‘Intro to Fusing‘ class at Aquila Glass. I honestly knew…

jess + linz
