Ft. Lauderdale Florida Extreme Glass Fusing Workshop
St. Augustine and D & L ART GLASS were more than accommodating hosts last weekend. First off, St. Augustine is a fantastic vacation spot with so much to experience. I highly recommend this city. Secondly, Linda has a great studio for all of your glass working needs. Be sure to visit her studio when you are in the area, it will be well worth it.
The next opening for my Extreme Glass Fusing Workshop is in Ft. Lauderdale Florida at Art Glass Connection on June 4th and 5th. Joanna Vitale has been working diligently to make sure everything is ready for June. I held a workshop here back in March and it was a huge success. We have tweaked a few aspects and we are confident this workshop will be even better. There are only 4 spots open for June. This is my last scheduled workshop in Florida until the end of the year. Please give Joanna a call at the number below to reserve your seat today. I look forward to meeting you.

Color Me Bad Decal Sheet and Glass Paints
OOOOO, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOOOOOO....
If you remember Color Me Bad from the 90's, you won't be able to get this jingle out of your head, my apologies.
We thought we would have some fun with our new product. These decals and paints can be permanently fired on your dichroic glass jewelry. Never before has a decal been available that you can completely customize with your own colors. We have 9 paints available for you to choose from. This opens up a whole new level of creativity when you think about color schemes and background colors.
BE SURE TO LET THE PAINTS DRY FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE FIRING!!! Otherwise the paints will burn off. Fire at 325F for 30-35 minutes to make permanent.
Tanya teaches some unique techniques involving these paints and decals in her workshops across the country. This is only one project of many, but this one is a hit!
Here are some guidelines for using these fusing decals and glass paints with your glass jewelry.
STEP TWO: Apply glass paints to decal areas with a BBQ wood skewer (found at any local grocery store.)
STEP THREE: Allow paints to dry for 24 hours.
STEP FOUR: Fire piece to 325 degrees F for 30 minutes.
DESIGN TIP: Use diluent to thin paints for a watercolor effect. Mix your own colors and use white to lighten up paints.

Art Glass Connection Workshop
I wanted to thank JoAnna Vitale and ART GLASS CONNECTION for hosting my most recent workshop. It was a pleasure teaching in such a well run studio with such enthusiastic artists.
JoAnna Vitale began her love affair with glass in 1991. She opened Art Glass Connection Stained Glass Studio in 1997 where she teaches, sells retail glass supplies, repairs stained glass and makes custom windows for residential and commercial clients. A few years ago, JoAnna began to experiment with fusible glass and the rest, as they say, is history.
I love to see the artists eyes light up when an idea clicks in their head. Sometimes they just need 1 or 2 hints or tricks to take their jewelry to the next level. I have no doubt these artists have taken that step to the next level. I wish everyone luck and I'm sure I will see you down the road.
Thanks JoAnna
Here is a link to some testimonials as well as my updated teaching schedule.
