AAE GLASS is proud to announce the opening of our brand new glass art teaching studio in Cape Coral, Florida. Along with the opening, Tanya Veit is debuting her long awaited Extreme Fusing II workshop that takes place over 3 days! The wait is finally over! There are only 5 available dates for each workshop in the coming months and classes are filling up FAST! Tanya is also offering a 1 day Beginner workshop and the 2 day Extreme Fusing I workshop .
The next few months in Southwest Florida are the best weather months of the year. 75-82 degrees and sun everyday. Our studio, located at 1228 Lafayette St, Cape Coral, Fl 33904, is centrally located in the heart of the downtown Cape. We have negotiated the best rates with the Holiday Inn Express located 2 blocks from the studio. You can fly into Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) and we are a 20 minute cab ride. You can rent a car if you wish to explore the SW Florida beaches and islands but it is not necessary if you are planning on exploring the downtown Cape. There is shopping, restaurants, bars and local SW Florida flair located within walking distance of the hotel. Did I mention the AAE GLASS studio is just 2 blocks away? How convenient!
The reviews have been nothing but excellent for X1 and now that Tanya has had time to perfect brand new techniques, X2 is going to be even more informative. You can read the testimonials here. The techniques in these workshops have helped glass artists reach the next level in their glass art work. We have helped several "part time" glass artists transition into "full time" glass artists. If you are looking to take the next step in your glass fusing experience, these workshops are a must. You will receive full support from AAE Glass as we strive to help you anyway we can.
AAE Glass believes in having fun while learning. We are going to run these workshops while making fun a priority. Those who have taken a Tanya Veit workshop in the past know what I am talking about. We have made it a point to get to know the local businesses and restaurants and there will be no shortage of extracurricular activities during your stay in Cape Coral.
We can't wait to see you again or meet you for the first time. Be sure to sign up ASAP. Seats are filling fast.
