My Glass Odyssey

We at AAE Glass like to share fun information with our readers whenever we can.  John Waterman (writer, director and producer) took a road trip to visit several different glass shops and came back with a documentary film called My Glass Odyssey. You can view the trailer as well as interviews with John on the My Glass Odyssey web page.
John and his dog Frito interviewed 99 glass artists in three years to compile this film.  John won a Silver Ace award for this documentary this past weekend and his dedication to spreading the word about glass art is just what this industry needs.  I believe that I speak for all glass artists when I say "Thanks for your work John."
AAE Glass shares in John's passion for glass art and vows to spread the word to anyone who will listen.  We hope you do the same.  Please share this with anyone you know who loves glass art or who enjoys a good documentary.

We are standing by to ship your order TODAY!  We will have these at your front door in just a few short days. 

Here is an example of efficiency.  When Tanya first started working with these silver findings, she would order the findings, make the glass to fit the findings while they were in transit and the day she received the findings, she added the glass and they were ready to go.  Her customers were always kept happy with prompt service! 

If you want to see a slide show of techniques you will learn in Tanya Veit's Extreme Glass Fusing Workshop, click HERE.  Tanya is now teaching in her new studio, complete with top of the line, kilns, saws and equipment, located at 1228 Lafayette St. Cape Coral, Fl 33904. ph: 239-471-7724.  We are closed Sunday, Monday and periodically for private workshops.  Give us a call to set up a meeting today! 10am -7pm.

Have a great day fusers!

Las Vegas Glass and Bead Convention

Hello Bloggers,


I apologize for the lack of posts lately.  I was in Las Vegas at the Glass and Bead show.  If you make and/or sell dichroic glass jewelery or use any kind of glass material or tools, I recommend you make the trip next year. 


There are so many new tools, glass types and techniques out to make your job easier and more creative.  The South Point Hotel and Casino did a great job hosting the event. 


My favorite part was meeting the many companies that we deal with on a daily basis, face to face.  From studios that Tanya is teaching at, to several companies who sell our original glass fusing decals.  We had a blast.  While I participated as a guest this year, we will participate with a booth next year. 


I look forward to seeing the new friends I made again along the way.  If you have any questions about the convention or AAEGLASS.COM in general, please email us at info@aaeglass.com to get your questions answered.


Have a great weekend and I look forward to speaking with you.

We Want To Promote You!

DICHROIC GLASS BRACELET

DICHROIC GLASS PENDANT

Good morning dichroic glass artists.  How would you like your online or brick and mortar gallery website to be seen by more people?  In today's economy, it can be expensive to advertise in newspapers, magazines, etc.  We want to offer you a FREE place to "get the word out" about your glass jewelry.  Or, maybe you are participating in art shows in the near future (My northern friends are fast approaching their "season").  Let us know the location and dates and we will post them right on this blog and thousands of other glass jewelry lovers, some who are sure to be in your part of the country, will instantly have the details.

This blog alone has 160 followers, not to mention the thousands of daily visitors to aaeglass.com that link to this blog. We also have thousands of facebook and twitter followers, not to mention the extensive email list we use to announce new products, sales and tutorial videos.  We use all these mediums to communicate with and assist other glass jewelry artists.  We want to share your work with them, for free.


AAEglass.com believes in customer service over all else.  We provide unique products that are proven to work in the studio.  From our original designed enamel glass fusing decals, like the tree of life, to our high quality, yet affordable silver settings, bails, chains, glass paints and 90 and 96 coe, dichroic scrap packs that are hand picked by Tanya Veit. We believe that helping our customers and students with their work will only enhance ours and help us offer products that will help you to be more creative.

- A clear picture or 2 of your finished glass jewelry.
- A list of products that you used from aaeglass.com to create your jewelry.

3rd Workshop Added in Houston Texas

CLASSES

COLOR ME BAD DECALS AND PAINT

Tanya Veit's Extreme Fused Glass Jewelry Workshop has added more dates in Houston Texas.  April 18th and 19th HARMONY STAINED GLASS STUDIOS has added a 3rd workshop due to popular demand.  The first 2 workshops filled up in 48 hours so be sure to call Joyce at 866-998-3381 or email info@harmonystainedglass.com to book your seat. 


AAE GLASS released a brand new fusing decal sheet that you can paint any color you want, PERMANENTLY.  Tanya has been teaching this technique in her workshop and the response has been great.  This is a perfect opportunity to get a leg up on your competition and work with a new technique all together.  The option to paint your decals any color you want, including metallic gold and metallic silver, gives you an infinite number of color combination's from your background, to frit, to decals.  Most fusing decals were either black or white.  Now you can color any of AAE GLASS' decals and fire them permanently.  


Tanya's class is very organized and packed with information.  You will receive a kit on the first morning that has each project outlined and separated into its own container.  You will get to keep these notes and containers upon completion.  Tanya comes from a family of school teachers and has a delivery that is very conducive to teaching these glass fusing techniques.  To view a list of all workshops available around the country as well as testimonials from students in past workshops visit AAE GLASS. 

The "Color Me Bad" decal painting is just one of several projects that will be taught in this workshop. 

We look forward to meeting you.

Color Me Bad Decal Sheet and Glass Paints

Color Me Bad

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 ONE: Soak and apply decal to finished glass piece, allow to dry for 12 hours and fire to low fire decal schedule.

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
