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.

We Are Back !!

After a LONG rehab I am back.
No commission work being accepted but I am going about my own art work and Yes, it will be for sale.
Classes will resume after the first of the year. Watch this space for details.

Barn Wood & Bevels

It is spring and that means it is time to pump up the inventory.
I need some new entries on Etsy, some new stock in the mall booth,
and a bunch of lower priced pieces for First Fridays which begin in May.
So, my "free time" will be all but gone at least for a while.
How to begin???  
First:   Take a nice bevel cluster,  
add some barn wood surround glass,  
stir in some antique seedy blue,
season with blue and green blobs, 
and top with some accent bevels = a really nice window panel.

Oh, please remember the beginning glass class on May 31st.
There is still space for you if you would like to learn this art.

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.

Etched Glass

A little photo practice and some nice etching on this glass.
Just thought I would share it with you.
It is not easy to get good images of glass, so a bit of practice helps. 

Remember the glass class March 15th, if you would like to learn the art of stained glass. Sign up in the right side bar.
