Cape Coral, Florida Leads the Way in 2013 Employment Outlook

AAE Glass has had the pleasure of calling Cape Coral, Florida home for the past three years.  We have operated the AAE Glass Art Studio in the heart of downtown Cape Coral for the past year and have made it a priority to get involved with the community.  It is important to us as small business owners to portray the city in the best light whenever possible, that is why we are proud to share this article from Forbes Magazine with you. 

Cape Coral/Fort Myers Florida is forecasting a 23% net job increase in 2013.  This is the highest number in the nation and the city is taking the lead very seriously.  Lee county, Florida was one of the hardest hit counties in America when the real estate bubble burst a few years ago.  After listening to political debates these past few months, no matter which side you are on, it is refreshing to read positive news, such as this.  If you haven't had the pleasure of visiting Cape Coral, Florida, take advantage if the opportunity presents itself.  For our glass artist friends located right here in SW Florida, lets make an effort to support art of all kinds and make Cape Coral, Florida a hotbed for artists of all mediums.

The AAE Glass mission involves educating and informing glass artists to the best of our ability.  We share any and all goings on in the glass art world.  This so happens to be in our backyard in Southwest Florida and is worth the time to check out if you are a glass artist or if you just love glass art.  There will be art of all mediums displayed and demonstrated, including some of the best glass artists on the west coast of Florida.  It is conveniently all located in one place!

Marketing Articles by Mark Veit in Glass Art Magazine

Mark Veit of AAE Glass authors a regular marketing article in Glass Art Magazine that has been running for roughly a year now.  These articles have helped glass artists think about the marketing and sales side of the glass art business, which is as important as the artistic side if you are trying to sustain a hobby or business.  We wanted to share the articles that have been published this past year.  A subscription to Glass Art Magazine is very affordable and available in print, online or in a pdf.  Please click the links below for a preview each of Mark's articles.

Josh Mazet at AAE Glass

AAE Glass is hosting renowned lampworker Josh Mazet this weekend in Cape Coral, Florida.  Josh has an extensive collection of beautiful glass vortex marbles, pendants, figurines and more.  AAE Glass is excited to expand techniques using the added torches.  We have had so much interest from local glass artists in this particular glass, we figured we would bring it to SW Florida.  A big thank you to Josh for taking the time to educate us and get us off on the right foot. 

 If you are a lampworker looking for a place to get some work done, look no further.  Stop by AAE Glass at 1228 Lafayette St. Cape Coral, FL 33904 or call 239-471-7724 for details.

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.

Tanya Veit Picasso Webinar Tuesday Oct. 30th

Tanya Veit of AAE Glass will be sharing her Picasso webinar again at 8:30pm eastern time on Tuesday October 30th.  The webinar is hosted by Glass Patterns Quarterly magazine and all sign up information can be found on their website glasspatterns.com.

Hope to see you then!

Fused Glass Project Ideas for Coldworking Scrap & Cut Off

There are many of you who have been following this blog for a long, long time...and AAE Glass thanks you for that. For those of you who have been loyal readers, you know how eloquently Mark writes this blog. He is the writer of the family and alas, I have no writing skills what-so-ever. I am the fused glass artist and instructor and writing is not my game. I am not even sure I have ever written in this blog! That being said, stay tuned for some "reader's shock" followed by missed words and probably a lot of run on sentences...as this is how I talk. I DO however, have some really creative ideas on how to use the scrap glass cut offs from your tile saw with the methods I have taught many of you! I feel it is best and less confusing if I just list the projects and then steps. If you have any ideas please contribute them here! (Check back often as I will be updating this with pictures and more ideas.)

BACKSPLASH TILE OR COASTERS OR PENDANT BLOCK OR PLATE OR.......:

1. Gather all of your fused glass cut offs that you sliced with your tile or ring saw. We put all of ours in a bowl as we cut them.

2. Place the scraps in a pot of water on the stove. *I'm not kidding*

3. Drop 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in the water and bring it to a boil. Let boil for 10 minutes.

4. Drink the water *NOW I'm kidding!* -Dont drink the water....

5. Drain the pot into a strainer outside in the lawn.

6. Place your freshly boiled and now VERY cleaned scraps into a freezer bag. Start nipping away with your mosaic nippers and create small pieces of fused glass cut offs.

7. Cut a piece of Bullseye Glass 2mm thin clear (or play with other transparent colors for bases) to the size of your tile choice. Let's say 4 x 4" for a coaster. Build this coaster directly onto your kiln shelf.

8. Dam the glass with kiln furniture, fire bricks, cut up kiln shefs or damz. Make sure you have kiln washed your damns or use fiber paper to line the the inside of the dam. Place additional kiln furniture around the outside of your dams so the glass does not push away your dam. You dam is to contain the flow of your glass. So, your coaster will be about 1/4-3/8" depending on how thick your jewelry was.

8. Using Bullseye Glasstac glue and a pair of bead tweezers, start placing your cleaned bits that you boiled in a randow pattern on your 2mm thin clear glass base. Push the pieces tightly together, but you do want tiny gaps between the bits as they will not fit together obviously.

9. Let this dry overnight.

10. The next day, choose one or several colors of Medium glass frit. Take a dixie cup or frit scoop and literally "grout" the tile and let the colored frit fall between the gaps. You are not going to clear cap this piece. Full fuse at the following schedule (the larger the piece, the slower you go and longer anneal!) The following schedule is my RECCOMMENDED schedule. Start here and adjust according to your kiln. This schedule is for Bullseye Glass.:

1. 300 DPH 1000 HOLD 60 MIN.
2. 100 DPH 1220 HOLD 60 MIN.
3. FULL 1515 HOLD 22 MIN.
4. FULL 900 HOLD 120 MIN.
5. 100 DPH 750 HOLD 6O MIN.
6. 150 DPH 75 -NO HOLD


SIMPLE PROJECT:

Throw all your scraps into a potmelt and fire to the following schedule: The following schedule is my RECCOMMENDED schedule. Start here and adjust according to your kiln. This schedule is for Bullseye Glass.

1. 1000 DPH 1000 hold 30 min.
2. 200 DPH 1180 hold 30 min.
3. 1000DPH TO 1650-1700 Hold 90-110 min.
4. Full to 1505 hold 60 min.
5. Full to 900 hold 60 min.
6.150 DPH to 750
7. Turn firebrick kiln off.
