The Artisan Group Deal - Maureen Connor

 For this week only you can purchase Maureen Conner's beautiful fused glass tree pendants at a 20% discount!  Meant 2B Cherished is part of The Artisan Group which promotes great deals and fashionable wears.

Maureen won a free seat to Tanya Veit's Extreme Glass Fusing workshop earlier this year.  You can see her winning piece HERE. 

Every time I sit down at my desk, it seems I am tearing another week off the calendar.  The holidays are almost here, get a head start with beautiful glass jewelry.  If you don't see what you like, simply CONTACT Maureen and she will be happy to work with you.  Happy shopping.

Drill Press Deal at Home Depot

DRILL PRESS

If anyone is in the market for a drill press, a friend of AAE Glass and an insider at Home Depot has strongly hinted that they will be marked down significantly on Black Friday. They are already affordable at $129.99, but you will most likely save more if you brave the crowds on Black Friday. 

Anyone who has taken Tanya Veit's Extreme Glass Fusing classes knows the possibilities that a drill press opens up for glass artists.  I assume all Home Depot's will have the same deals on Black Friday, but I am not sure.  I just wanted to pass along the info to those who were in the market.

AAE Glass Filmed for "Today in America" with Terry Bradshaw

We had some fun yesterday as a film crew set up shop in the AAE Glass studio.  "Today in America" is a show hosted by Terry Bradshaw with a focus on small businesses and individuals striving to make it today in America.  While the show covers a broad range of subjects this particular segment is about the city of Cape Coral, Florida and how small businesses are having an impact on the recovery of one of the hardest hit areas after the housing bubble burst.  

Cape Coral, Florida was undoubtedly hit the hardest when the housing bubble burst.  Home prices have been negatively affected by hundreds of thousands of dollars from their height and the once growing population became stagnant as the jobs began leaving with the people.  It has been a long struggle for the city that began years before AAE Glass took residence here.  We have happily joined efforts to bring Cape Coral, Florida back to the beautiful destination it once was.  Recent reports suggest the housing market is on the uptick and there is a noticeable increase in new businesses popping up all over the South Cape.  We will be sure to share the dates and channels the show airs on when available.  Thank you for all of the support, especially those who came out to take part in the filming yesterday.  

 

AAE Glass Art Studio in Action

AAE Glass has been enjoying our newest addition to the studio...The vitrigraph kiln.  Patty Gray broke it in for us and we have been playing with it since.  Our Christmas list is long and we are hoping to add even more unique glass fusing equipment to build on the techniques Tanya Veit is teaching daily.  You can check out some of our newest products that in some cases aren't intended for use in glass fusing, but thanks to Tanya taking the time to experiment with everyday products, we have developed some very unique alternatives.
