David Alcala is Teaching at AAE Glass


AAE Glass is proud to offer you a one of a kind, glass art workshop with one of the most unique glass artists in the world.  David Alcala uses ancient techniques to produce modern glass art.  David is also releasing a new product called "flexi-glass" that hasn't even hit shelves yet.  Tanya Veit has had a chance to play with it and it is going to open up creative doors for all glass artists.  The photo above is not a photograph, it is what David creates when turning sand to glass.  You will learn to do this!

David will be teaching 4 separate, 1 day workshops on the following dates at the AAE Glass studio in beautiful Cape Coral, Florida. $195 includes all supplies and lunch.  Seats will fill up fast.  To reserve yours today, click on a link below or call the studio directly at 239-471-7724.  We have a corporate rate with the Holiday Inn Express 1 block from the studio if you need accommodations.

AAE Glass Silver Settings are Here, ALL of them!



Hello Glass fusers.  AAE Glass is happy to say, we have heard you loud and clear and we are happy to say we have every possible silver setting in stock as of today.  We have been working tirelessly to bring you the best fusing products on the market.


Many of these silver settings are used in Tanya Veit's Extreme Fusing line of classes, Breaking all the rules. It is named "breaking all the rules" because Tanya has a unique approach to glass fusing that you will not find anywhere else!  I can't stress that enough.  Tanya is self taught and has come up with ways to manipulate glass that no one else teaches.  These techniques, combined with a never before seen energy and the best quality glass fusing decals and settings create the perfect storm for you to expand your glass fusing knowledge like never before.  If you are ready to take the next step, these classes are an investment that will pay itself off 10 fold.  Read these testimonials of artists who have taken the next step.

AAE Glass will be announcing new teaching dates after the new year.  We have some of the best glass fusing teachers coming to our studio in Cape Coral, Florida in 2012, not to mention Tanya has some special classes up her sleeve that will not be taught anywhere but the AAE Glass studio.  If you can't make it to Cape Coral, Tanya will be traveling to a limited number of studios throughout the world in 2012 (Canada, London, Norway and the U.S.A.) 


To all of the glass fusers who have supported AAE Glass from the beginning, THANK YOU.  Everything we do, we do with an eye towards helping you expand your craft.  Countless artists have conveyed that the silver settings have taken their glass art to the next level at art shows.  They not only sell out, but they leave with a list of custom orders and an arsenal of new clients looking to buy their glass art.  When you combine this with Tanya's unique layering techniques, you will set your glass art apart from everyone else at the art show.  This equals more sales. 


If there is anything we can do to help you grow your business, simply email us at info@aaeglass.com and we will be happy to help. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.  Celebrate safely with family and friends this year.  We can't wait to share 2012 with all of you!

David Alcala of FXN Glass Presents Sand to Glass


David Alcala of FXN Glass is a glass artist that needs no introduction.  Tanya and I were lucky enough to meet David earlier this year and are honored to call him a friend.  His unique talent and experience combine to make him a leader in the glass world.  David lives and owns a studio in Monterey, California.  He shares the same passion as AAE Glass when it comes to always expanding our glass knowledge and bringing as many glass artists along for the ride as possible! 


When meeting David for a few days this summer, we were able to discuss goals and how to achieve them.  Tanya and David talked for hours on how to utilize each others talents to help grow their own.  They shared both experiences and products with each other to "play" with.  The results have been tremendous.  If you ever have a chance to meet David, or better yet, learn from David, I highly recommend you take advantage. 


David recently informed us that AAE Glass will have a part in his upcoming book!!!  It has been hard not to share the great news with everyone, but the time has come.  Click HERE to learn more about the book as well as view a video David put together about his book and his art. This is a must see!


With the utmost sincerity, we would like to thank David for taking the time to get to know AAE Glass, sharing his experiences with our new, up and coming business and for staying in touch these past few months.  We have learned invaluable information that we will lean on forever. We are excited to see all of the doors that open for David as a result of this book.


If you haven't heard about David Alcala's popular new glass product Flexi-Glass, be sure to click the link and learn more about it.  Any glass artist will fall in love instantly.


AAE Glass will be hosting David Alcala in April 2012, in Cape Coral, Florida.  He is a great teacher and an even better person.  Be sure to check back often for exact dates.  This class is sure to fill up fast.
