I want to make glass that makes people smile.

In my elementary school yearbook, I stated that I wanted to be a glassblower when I grew up. That dream became a reality at the age of 14, when my parents gifted me with glassblowing classes at Simple Syrup Studio in Brockton, MA. I continued my glassblowing education at the Corning Museum of Glass while completing an M.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry at Cornell University. 

The name K+ Glass comes from the purely coincidental fact that my last name, Potash, is another term for a potassium salt used to lower the melting point of glass. The atomic symbol for potassium is K. I was always destined to be a glassblowing, gardening chemist with an affinity for pyrotechnics and good hygiene.
