Do you want to be your own Boss?

I had the pleasure of coaching this class last year and it far exceeded my expectations.  If you have been on the fence about starting your own business or if you just want to educate yourself on what it takes to run your own business, this class will answer all of your questions.  Classes begin Monday June 2nd in Cape Coral and are only $65.  You can find more info and sign up HERE.  This workshop is an affordable launching point for what might be the next chapter in your life.  

All students leave with a sense of how their business can succeed.

AAE Glass Art Studio Memorial Day Weekend Closing

NEW HIGH FIRE AAE GLASS FUSING DECALS

Tanya Veit, the AAE Glass Art Studio and Cape Coral, Florida Featured on Today in America with Terry Bradshaw

The city of Cape Coral asked AAE Glass to be a part of a Today in America TV show, hosted by Terry Bradshaw, to spotlight everything Cape Coral has to offer.  Tanya Veit was interviewed, as were other business and area leaders, and I believe they did a great job pointing out all there is to do in Cape Coral, Florida.  

AAE Glass is fortunate to host glass artists from around the world, some from very cold climates such as Alaska, Canada and Scotland. We always enjoy seeing them kick back in the sun and often enough, they will come to class with quite the sunburn.  Having a city with so much to offer is very important to our business as many glass artists will plan their vacations around Tanya's classes.  The local hotels, restaurants, beaches and stores play a big part in our success as our students like to relax after class and Cape Coral has more than enough to offer.    

If you haven't yet planned a vacation this year and you love glass art, consider Cape Coral and combine both. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Art A Whirl 2014 Minneapolis, Minnesota May 16, 17, 18

The AAE Glass Art Studio hosts dozens of glass artists from the Minneapolis area each winter here in Cape Coral, Florida. Minneapolis is a hotbed of not only glass art, but art of all mediums. Now that many of our friends have retreated back north for the summer, Minneapolis is treated to the 19th annual Art-A-Whirl, presented by the Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association. Thank you to Ria Neilson, owner of Glass Transitions, who is actively promoting this event. Art-A-Whirl is going on its 19th year and to me, that means it is a very quality event.

Art-A-Whirl offers you a chance to tour 70+ studios and galleries this weekend. A couple highlights include this event as the largest open studio tour in the country! Even better, the event is FREE and open to the public! The event is scheduled for this Friday, May 16th through Sunday May 18th. It is the perfect opportunity to mingle with artists from all walks of life and view several working studios and galleries. Several of the artists we worked with this season have built on techniques they learned from Tanya Veit and have created some spectacular and unique fused glass art that will be on display this weekend.

If you are anywhere near Minneapolis this weekend, this event will be well worth your time. We would love to hear your thoughts if you can attend.
