Becky Marks' interest in glass began at a stained glass studio in New Orleans, Louisiana where she taught classes, designed and built glass projects, and sold retail glass supplies. She also worked on commissions and repaired antique pieces in the region.
While working on an art degree at Tulane University, she enjoyed glass blowing for several semesters. Glass blowing took her to the next step of working with glass that she describes as "live glass". She enjoyed the movement and glow of "live glass" and went on to take flame-working courses at "The Corning Museum of Glass Studios"
Kiln work and fusing glass came next. Her studies under Miriam Di Fiore in Mornico, Italy added to her techniques. Miriam's "Light Painting Technique" classes involved using glass stringers,
glass powders and frit to create images onto the glass. Becky enjoys experimenting with new
techniques while working with glass.

The Studio "Comfy inside and looking out connects me to nature."
Glassworks is what "Marks on Glass" is all about.
Fusing glass creations is a specialty of "Marks on Glass". With few exceptions, the glass is cut by hand and then fused together in a kiln. The fused pieces are then placed on a mold, returned to the kiln and then slumped or draped into shape. The glass used in our bowls, plates and platters is food safe and can be used for serving. Hand washing is recommended.
Incorporating frit and flame-work, we design each original piece so that no two are exactly the same. Keep in mind when ordering a piece that is sold, your piece will be very similar to what is represented online. Pieces that are available can be shipped in 1-2 days.
These pieces can also be fused flat and used as tiles that can be displayed on a stand or framed and hung. We can design them to be incorporated into a stained glass piece that can be hung or installed. We can also put them into a mosaic created on a table, window sill, wall, etc.....
With a vivid imagination - the possibilities are endless".
