NEW CLASS coming in hot 🔥✨ On-Edge Fuse Glass Plates!
In this workshop we’ll build a fused glass plate using strips of glass arranged together like a little color architecture—so the design runs all the way through the piece, not just on top.

These plates are extra special because they’re a multi-stage process: this project takes three firing days (instead of one or two), and I’ll be coldworking + polishing the edges before the final finishing fire.
Translation: it takes a little longer… but the result is ✨worth it✨.

If you love bold stripes, modern design, and glass that looks gorgeous from every angle—this one is for you.

​Workshop is May 12, 2026 Saturday at 1 PM.

This work is titled "Undulate Color Blocking," 34' x 7.5', Installed at Murray City Hall, 2023.

Utah is a vast and colorful state with the best snow on earth and the most vibrant painted deserts. "Undulate Color Blocking" is created by a representation of Murray City's iconic Murray City Public Park depicting Utah's most spectacular sunsets and the undulating Wasatch Mountains. Abstracting the colors of the image for this work shows the liminal spaces. Color blocking is an artistic technique exploring taking colors opposite of the color wheel and pairing them together to make exciting and complimentary color combinations. Mark Rothko and Piet Mondrian are Known for using this technique in their work. 

I want to thank everyone who worked on this project. Murray City, GSBS Architects, Layton Construction, Case Roofing, and Aisling Art Installation. There are so many more that helped in small and significant ways. Being selected to represent Murray City is a tremendous honor. 

My work is about abstraction. It is a literal abstraction with a point of departure, often abstract itself, that I encode, then find a way to translate into pure form, pure material, and pure color. My practice is an exploration of liminal spaces. I investigate the territory between art and craft, image and idea, rules and anarchy, and science and intuition. Craft is highly codified. This is particularly the case with glass—if you don't follow the laws of physics, the whole work will be astray—yet it is also the playground where rules can be bent, and boundaries can be pushed. Science is also that way—in the physics of glass, as well as in genetics, biology, and chemistry—all science. Science is a codified, regulated world where intuition happens within the structure of the discipline and rules are broken, and boundaries are challenged. A minimalist approach gives my work a contemporary feel and illuminates its simple beauty. Glass is a smooth, rough, and mysterious substance, yet at the same time, a very ordinary substance. It can be as common as a window pane glass or a treasured work of art. It's part of our world culture. Glassmaking has been estimated to have been around for over 5,000 years. Yet, the same piece of glass can appear invisible at one moment and opaque at another through its display of reflection. Glass is a chameleon of sorts, an illusionist. Right down to the chemical structure of the glass. As a glass artist, the alchemist of the molecular structure of glass instructs the glass to behave in a particular manner. This is where the playground of an artist and science comes together.

​Good Morning!!! The space that I will be expanding into a teaching studio is just next door to my studio. This is a huge Convenience for me. It is bittersweet as my neighbors @thirdsunpro are moving. I will miss them Immensely and appreciate them in making the dream possible for me. I have had several studios and live spaces in @artspace_utah over many years. They too have been supportive of my small business and now it’s expansion. I can’t thank them enough for the support, and EMG Management always taking care of the spaces. There are so many I want to thank for this and just not the space. Please know that it takes many people to make the world go around. I could not have done this without you. Cheers to the next chapter. @sarinda.jones #utahartteaching #artworkshops #meltingglass #stayglassy #amazingsupporters

BREATH RESIDENCY 

I was humbled to be invited to Richard Parrish and Steve Klein's Breath Residency in September 2021. The location was Pilchuck Glass School and the serene campus. Truly an incredible experience to further the artistic journey with rich experiences.

I was not sure up until the last minute that all the planets would align for me to go. Yet they did and I am truly grateful.

If I could encourage any artist to take the time for an extended residency. I will always tell you, go..... Find a way to go!!

I did not touch glass for the first few days and wow that was just amazing to relinquish the need to be doing and making. I spent some time walking, sitting on the dock of the pond, made friends with a cat named Boots. Really I just soaked up the place and timing of this event.

Take a Breath
Take that Moment 
Take another cup sip of coffee
Take a smile and laugh
Take a BREATH

"Breath" has a lot of meaning to me and I have a good start on a new body of work and I will be taking the time to create from the heart once again. Looking forward to embracing my good friends and good times again soon.  “Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Hello Creatives....

I have been looking for a way to bring monthly Kilnformed Glass lessons to you. I have gone back and forth on the platform I wanted to represent my business and be easy for you to use. 
So here we are.

Please promote this page to your glass communities. This will be the main educational way I will be teaching. 
This will be different from my "Glass Memberships" sold on my website. as you will provide all the materials yourself and you will get various different lessons here on a monthly basis. There is a VIP tier that will provide glass business information.

Here is the welcome letter to explain more of how Patreon works. The above image is what we have already created this year.

February: Cast Glass Heart
​March: On Edge Plate
April: Lusters
May: Dashes and Dots
June: Wafer Landscapes
July: Enamels
Aug: TBD

Dear Patrons,
Welcome to my Patreon page. 
As you move around the lessons. Let me know if you have any questions. We also have a PRIVATE facebook share page if you would like to join. I will send the link after the email. A Sincere Thank you and I look forward to seeing what you create. 
The workshops I teach are fully my creations and techniques. Some educators pay other artists to fund their creative content. You will also have voting power for the future lessons.
As you know there are three different tiers here.
Tier one: you will receive an extensive syllabus with photos and firing schedules.
Tier two: you will receive the above and access to a more in-depth video. Videos are a great way to dive in deeper and see how I create.
Tier three: you will receive the above and access to a third lesson on the art of business. Where we go into everything from taking good photos, processing photos, applying to art shows etc… 
Every month there will be a VIP recipient that is awarded the project that we created at the end of the month. I ship the project for free to the VIP member. This is a way for me to say thank you for being a participant in this amazing group.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I know I am using this platform differently than other artists here.
Face the brilliance of your most wonderful creations and dwell on your dreams.

Thank you for joining me on this wonderful glass journey. 
Be Well-
Sarinda
