Phused By Phyllis

PHUSED BY PHYLLIS


Phyllis Berger Haines has been fusing glass for over 8 years.  I have enjoyed talking and sharing information with Phyllis for a couple years now.  I finally got to meet her, in person, at my "Extreme Glass Fusing Workshop."  The link to her shop is above.  She has a great range of glass art and jewelry.  The 2 pieces pictured above were started at the workshop and perfected in her studio.  Phyllis has an uncanny thirst for fused glass knowledge. 
It is students like Phyllis that make teaching these workshops fulfilling.  She isn't afraid to try new techniques and she won't quit until she nails it. 

Great work Phyllis. 

There are still a few new glass fusing decal images available at AAEGlass.com.  We are always coming up with new glass fusing decal designs, as well as other products that have proven to be beneficial.  If you have any jewelry pieces you would like to share, email me a picture at info@aaeglass.com. 

Have a great day!

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.

Tip #5 - Craft Show Season

With Christmas just a few months away, craft show season is upon us. Labor Day typically kicks off a long stretch of craft shows across the country, which culminate with Christmas. We have done many craft shows and fairs in our day, but haven't done any in a few years.

We get questions every week about tips on how to best prepare for a craft show. To be honest, we are not the best source of information, because we don't participate in craft shows as often as other artist friends.

So for this weeks tip, we are asking for your help. If you have any tips or suggestions on how to run a smooth booth at a craft fair, please click on the comment button directly below and share with us. I understand artist don't want to give away any secrets and we understand. We are just looking for suggestions on organization, display techniques and other general information.

If you are in an upcoming craft show, click the comment button below and tell us when and where. We have a diverse group of artists on our blog and I'm sure they would love to see local artists if at all possible. So take advantage of the FREE promotion.

Be sure to stock up on your dichroic glass fusing supplies and decals for Christmas season. www.aaeglass.com It will be here before you know it.

Tip #4 Coldworking with Dichroic Glass Jewelry

Cold working: Revolution XT Tile Saw review

I usually save all my cold working on my dichroic glass jewelry for one day of the week and do it for about 8-10 hours straight. Cold working is not my favorite thing to do. I often receive emails on how I shape my pieces since my fused glass pieces are so thick.

I would not be able to have such thick pieces and cut them without some serious equipment. I thought I would share with you my personal opinion on the Revolution XT Saw by Gemini. This saw allows me flexibility with my pieces. I have been using this saw for 2 years. It is a workhorse and can cut through anything, however, this is a high maintenance saw. I paid 1350.00 for the saw. The replacement parts are hard to find and they are expensive. A blade costs about 150.00, replacement kit is about 300.00 and I would suggest replacing the saw blade 3-4 times a year. www.hisglassworks.com has most of the parts. There customer service is excellent and they have fast shipping.

Cleaning this saw, is not fun. It is a major chore, but doable on your own.

The good stuff...this saw can cut through 6 and 7 layer pieces with precision and little glass chipping. The diamond blades last a long time and I usually cut 100 pieces or more. It is very safe and comfortable to use. In addition, this is a heavy, sturdy piece of equipment and has a self contained water pump. What does this mean? It means I use it INSIDE my studio with little water mess.

Does anyone else use this particular saw, or a similar one? Please comment if you do. I would love to hear your experiences.
