I continue to study and learn new techniques to incorporate into my work and instruction. I don't believe in 'keeping secrets' and I strive to pass along as much information as I can to people that sign up for my jewellery courses. I am a strong believer in "..anything is possible.." and that one learns by doing. I feel strongly that the work created by beginning students with little or no previous experience that can be viewed on this website is a testimony of my ability to transfer the knowledge that I have gained. My classes are structured but not hindered by formality or pre-requisite abilities; I provide an environment in which individual creativity is nurtured and small ideas can flourish to great work in an exceptionally short period of time.

nanopod: Hybrid Studio has been an independently run artistís studio since 2005.
Working with metal for over 25 years, Teran was introduced to glass as an artistic medium in the late 80ís however the concept of incorporating glass in her work wouldn't kick-in until 2004 when working with a glass blower at Harbourfront Studios, flameworkers and soon after, casting at Urban Glass Brooklyn.
Glass studies continued at The Studio at The Corning Museum of Glass with Colourist, Suellen Fowler and Jesse Kohl.
In 2008 Teran's metal and glass work caught the attention of Dawn Bennett, executive director of Urban Glass who invited Tosca to create a body of work to be featured at SOFA, NY 2009.

In many ways working with glass is similar to working with metal; lost wax casting, soldering or 'welding' glass components together. I enjoy the imediacy of flameworking or hot sculpting glass. The illusions I am able to create and incorporate into my metal pieces seem endless.
