Featured Glass Artists Imaginative Creations

CLICK HERE 

Imaginative Creations has been such a fun business to watch grow.  The effort that glass artists AJ and Sandy Smith give to their craft is second to none.  They began creating glass in 2002 and over the past couple of years, with 100% time devotion, have been able to grow a sustainable and profitable business around their unique fused glass jewelry.  Take a look at all they have to offer and if you are in the NY area, be sure to catch them at one of the dozens of art shows they participate in.

AAE Glass Art Studio Memorial Day Weekend Closing

The AAE Glass Art Studio in Cape Coral, Florida will be closed Saturday May 24th, Sunday May 25th and Monday May 26th for Memorial Day Weekend.  Thank you for your patience. AAEGlass.com will be business as usual throughout the weekend. We hope to see you this week!

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!

Dr. Laura Schlessinger Uses Fused Glass Art to Raise Money for Military Veterans

Dr. Laura Schlessinger, is using her creativity and love of fused glass art to raise money for American war veterans and Operation Family Fund.  OFF is an organization that raises donations for war veterans and 100% of the funds go to families of fallen and severely injured soldiers.

When AAE Glass was informed of this venture by Dr. Laura, we jumped at the chance to help her raise money for a great cause as well as shed light on the fused glass world as a whole.  It was great to see others in the glass fusing world do the same and donate dichroic glass, molds, frit, machines and more to aid Dr. Laura with her efforts.  The Doc has a knack for creating beautiful pendants and she uses some of Tanya Veit's most detailed decals and techniques to do so. 

Dr. Laura is a well known radio personality, author and gives some great personal advice.  Her radio show can be heard on Sirius XM radio's Sirius XM Stars channel 106.  .

Dr. Laura will also be attending Tanya Veit's Extreme Fused Glass workshop in the near future!  There is no doubt that with Tanya and the Doc in the same room, there will be plenty of energy to go around.  

DR. LAURA FAMILY MEMBERS RECEIVE A FREE PAIR OF DICHROIC EARRINGS
SIGN UP HERE

Dr. Laura has raised almost 2 million dollars for OFF in the past with the sales of her handmade jewelry and public appearances.  This year, she is raising the bar even higher and launching drlauradesigns.com.  Dr. Laura Designs is a collection of fused glass art and handmade jewelry that Dr. Laura made and 100% of all sales will be donated directly to Operation Family Fund. 

drlauradesigns.com is now open to the public

Dr. Laura is also donating her time, travel, supply costs, etc, in order to raise as much money for these families as she can.  The Doc has made such an impact in the past with her vigorous fundraising that she was awarded a medal by the Department of Defense, which is rare for a civilian.

You can support this great cause by purchasing a piece from Dr. Laura Designs or simply sharing this post with any glass lovers you may know.  We want to spread the word that fused glass art is being used to raise lots of money for a great cause.  This will shine a great light on our industry as a whole, at the same time helping so many of America's Hero's in need.

Lets show the Doc how loud the voice of the fused glass world can be.  Help us spread the word about Operation Family Fund and share Dr. Laura Designs with anyone who enjoys making or purchasing glass art or handmade jewelry. 

Keep up the good work Doc and we hope to raise awareness for Operation Family Fund.

JustJax Notecards are the Perfect Compliment to Any Gift

Much of what we do at AAE Glass revolves around gift giving.  We offer supplies and instruction to glass artists looking to make gifts for their family and friends.  We often find ourselves giving gifts to business partners and fellow glass artists who frequent the AAE Glass Art Studio. 

Ever since we found JustJax Notecards, we never fail to get a smile when presenting a gift.  The beauty of these cards speaks for itself and the fact that we can email our own photo to JustJax and have these beautiful cards created just for us makes this service fully customizable.  There are quite a few Pug cards around the studio that were made with pictures Tanya took. 

JustJax has produced notecards and other products like this for years and has recently made the jump to an ArtFire store.  AAE Glass is always looking for unique products that we can incorporate with our glass art and for $1 per card, JustJax never fails to get us the reaction we are looking for.  Feel free to contact JustJax via ArtFire and she will be sure to answer any questions you may have.

Happy Birthday Tanya Veit

The AAE Glass Family would like to wish Tanya Veit a very happy birthday!  

May this be the best year yet!

We believe it will be!  

   Why do we believe it will be the best year yet?  We just watched the final cut of Tanya's first instructional DVD and were blown away.  A very special thank you to producer, Marcie Davis for capturing Tanya's unique teaching style and techniques on Extreme Fused Glass Jewelry, Volume One.
I feel safe in saying this will be like no other glass fusing DVD you have ever seen.
   This DVD contains over one hour of instruction from the fused glass artist everyone is talking about.  Tanya has been generously offering fused glass instruction for the past few years both at the AAE Glass Art Studio in Cape Coral, Florida and abroad.  Now she wants to come into your home!
   Be sure to LIKE the AAE Glass Art Studio facebook page to be notified first of the DVD's public release.

   So Tanya, even though you are across the pond sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm at the moment, we send our love and best wishes for a very happy birthday and a Beatles-like return to the The States.  

Your fans are waiting!  Cheers!

Mark, Molly, John, Belinda, Lois, Kylie, Sully & Layla
