Hi everyone,

It’s been so long now, I kept telling myself it would just be a few months of a break while I moved from Twillingate to Halifax but now I’m just 3 weeks away from it having been a whole year already!!!

I recently moved into a new place with my partner and we found a spot that gives me basically a full room to be able to do my art work again!

I’m currently setting it all up but I’m hoping by mid September I’ll be kicking back up and doing this a bit more full time.

My job is coming to an end at the end of September and I’m not sure what will come next for me after that but I am hopeful to make a bit of a leap of faith and pursue this more full time

In the coming weeks I’ll share more details but for anyone who might be interested in some gifts or decorations for the holidays you should be able to see some things available to purchase by November to arrive before Christmas.

Let me know in the comments what items should I make first? More whales? Snowmen? Jellyfish? Let me know!

Hi twillingate!

I’m home for the holidays and realized I have 4 of these little fused glass snake plants still here!

I have 2 large and 2 small.

The small ones are $8
The large are $12

Selling them for lower than regular pricing just to get them out of the way!

Pickup only please!

It’s been a while but I’m actually in my workshop tonight working on stuff! It’s been a good few months off and my fingers have really loved not being full of cuts and shards of glass but it’s time to toughen that skin back up 😜

Happy December everyone!!

Twillingate customers

Right now I have very limited time but I’m opening up a very small window to place a pre order item that will be ready for pickup in Twillingate after December 15th

I am able to accommodate :

2 x whales - $75 each (darker blue in colour) approx 8-9 inches in length

1 x gingerbread people ornaments $15 each approx 3-4” diameter. (Will likely be a white or green or clear background on a circle piece of glass)

1 x orange(fruit) with a leaf suncatcher $20 approx 4-5” in circumference

5 x snowmen ornaments with black top hats (the usual ones I make) $12 each.

2 x mini whales tails (blue in colour) $20 each

1 x pumpkin suncatcher $25

I know this isn’t a big list but I have limited time before I’m home again and I’m finishing up my semester of school and working full time.

Please send me an inbox to claim your items. It will be on a first come first serve and unless I post otherwise I cannot make anything else at this time.

Thank you.

Don’t forget this holiday season there is a way to support your favourite creators online without costing you any extra money!

While you do some Black Friday shopping this week; if you come here and click this link posted and do any shopping on Amazon within the next 24 hours I actually earn a small commission from the sale. It costs you no extra money but it gives me a kick back on the “referral” even if you don’t buy the item I have posted but just click and shop! All the money earned on the commissions I reinvest back into my art supplies and continuing my craft.

Im still finishing up my art studio space here in Halifax and waiting on a few more things before I can begin but I’m so excited to be able to start making things again soon!

Looking for something fun and interactive for yourself or your family to do together this holiday season?

Why not make some homemade ornaments that you can keep forever! I just purchased this air dry clay kit that comes with dozens of tools that you can use to create your own ornaments.

Grab some cookie cutters and a rolling pin or bits of nature to imprint into the clay, let it dry for a few days and then paint them together!

It’s best if you turn them every so often while they dry over the course of 2-3 days so they won’t warp too much but you could use some parchment paper and put a baking sheet on top to keep them flat!

Find some of the supplies here:

(10lbs with all tools which will make a lot)

Smaller 2.2lb bag (no tools)

If you shop using these links I also earn a small commission, which I use to buy more art supplies.

Happy fall everybody!!

I’ve missed you all a little too much, so… I’m getting back into the glass studio! But this time in a brand new location!

I’m finally all settled away here in Halifax and I’ve began the process of turning my sunroom into a glass studio!!!

I’m hoping in the next few weeks I’ll have some new things made to share with you all. I won’t be taking any orders for a while because this will be a very limited amount of time per week I’ll be allocating to my glasswork but I am excited to get crafting again and filming more behind the scenes content for you all to learn and watch the process!

I am officially on hiatus from my glasswork for a while!! As most of you know I am moving to Halifax so I will be taking a much needed break from crafting while I get situated in my new city and continue working and finishing off my post secondary education!

At this time I will not be taking any orders or working on new projects and my inbox will not be monitored regularly during this time away.

When I’m back to making things I’ll be posting here and I look forward to showing you what I make in 2026!

Warmly,
Nick
