Working very hard here in the studio. I am now into the second week of the Beginning Glass class, working on filling orders, and building more things for Etsy.
The class is going great! The orders are getting done. Things for Etsy...not so much.
Only one of me and only so much time...orders and students come first!

So that you are aware, the new beginning glass class starts  Tuesday, May 7th.
It runs for 4 weeks, the 14th -21st -and ends on the 28th.  
Time is: 6:30 - 9:00PM.  The investment is $135.00 which includes all material and the use of our tools.
You will finish with a great glass panel that will look wonderful hanging in your window. You may sign up using the Paypal link in the sidebar.

On the way to its' new home. Already sold. A new design that I put together just for this client.  The "ice glass" provides privacy but lets in a lot of light. The bevels add great sparkle to this window.   
You can learn to do this.
Watch this space for new classes starting the first part of June.

A new small panel from over the weekend. 

Not a lot of time with all the family events going on but just enough to get this finished.

The June glass class is full but there is still space available in the July 15th class. 

You may sign up from the right sidebar of this blog.

Only $125.00 for the class with all materials included. 

You will go home with a completed glass panel to hang in your window.

Next Student Project

I spent a bit of time this last weekend looking for a new project for beginning glass students.  
Change is good ! 
Nothing wrong with the old project it was just time for a change. 
A nice oval landscape with the sun setting over some small hills and a stream in the foreground. It has all the necessary things for a beginning class: straight lines, inside curves, outside curves, and some random wavy lines. 
All the things a beginning student needs 
to learn to cut and foil.

I went ahead and made the project to judge the timing for a class. With a bit of nice glass it cleans up well don't you think?  A piece the students will be proud to show..."I made this in class ! " (big smile) 

Just so you know, the next beginning class is Saturday, April 25th from 9am to around 5 pm.
The investment is only $125.00 with everything included except lunch. You do not need to purchase glass or tools to take the class! 
This is a real savings for you.

First Stained Glass Class

The first class in our new location.
The polar vortex really slowed things down at the studio.
It is hard to give a class if no one can get to you.
But, we finally got it together and the first class was a success.
Congratulations to the students who made a great first project.
Another class next month...watch this space.

Autumn Ginkgo Leaves

A few ginkgo leaves  in their fall colors.
The branches stretched  out across the glass.
Some bright fall accents and some very textured glass as a surround.
It is winter here...still.... but we can remember autumns past.
Remember the up coming beginning class on March 15th. There is only one space left.

Stained Glass Classes

 

        

Beginning Stained Glass:

You know that you have always wanted to learn to work with stained glass. To create a panel or a piece of fine art. Now you have the chance! This class will teach you how to layout, cut, and assemble your own stained glass panel using the Tiffany inspired copper foil method.

Given once a month, from 9:30 AM to about 5 PM on a Saturday, this day long class is a great chance to learn the basics of creating with stained glass.  

The investment of only $125.00 covers everything, except your lunch.

You will leave with a finished, ready to hang, glass panel and a lot of new knowledge. 

Come and join the fun.  See the Paypal button in the sidebar for the date and to sign up.

More classes are on the way...watch this space !

Bathroom Glass

The same home, different room.
This is used as a privacy window in the shower.
This window faces East so the sunrise should be
just great coming through the beveled center.

My first class in the new studio is on Nov 16th.
It is full already...( if you snooze, you lose).

Watch this space for info on up coming classes
and of course the Paypal sign up in the sidebar.

Color In The Corner

A bit of useful decoration on the grinder table.
The new shop is up and running with a back log 
of repair work and many new projects.

More information on classes will be coming soon.
The first class is already sold out with a waiting list.
