I learned copper foil and leaded glass techniques from Nancy Weisser of Kensington, Md., and studied mosaics with Rick Shelley of Baltimore and Ilana Shafir of Israel. I work with glass, ceramic, stone, shell, and found objects in both stained glass and mosaic projects. I enjoy doing commissions that incorporate the personality and taste of a client, and maybe even the client’s own broken plates, old buttons, or beach glass.

Richard Morris began writing novels after working in the housing industry for thirty years. His first book, Cologne No. 10 For Men, is a Vietnam War satire that has been compared to Catch-22 and M.A.S.H. It's based on his experiences as a rifle platoon leader in Vietnam. Writer’s Digest calls it a “superb novel of the Vietnam War,” and in 2013 the Vietnam Veterans of America reviewer David Willson said, “There aren’t very many funny Vietnam War infantry books. This is one of them. Read it and be amazed.” Two copies have been placed in the Naval Academy Library.
