AAE Glass Pictures from Europe

Tanya & John Veit of AAE Glass have sent some pictures to share with everyone from Europe.  They are teaching at a very high rate of speed, but what else would you expect.  The International Festival of Glass is about to take off and Tanya has the honor of teaching 72 glass artists in the coming days!  She sends her best to everyone and promises to bring back a ton of glass knowledge to share with our local glass artists right here in Cape Coral, Florida. I will update as I receive more info.  Leave a comment on this post for Tanya and I will make sure she sees the support she is getting back home!

New Color Decal Sheet Release Mystical Wildlife

AAE Glass has released a follow up, color, glass fusing decal sheet, Mystical Wildlife.  The examples above are by Tanya Veit and just like the original color fusing decal sheet we released a few weeks ago, Paradise in Color, these are the only color decals of their kind on the market.
These color decals fire on the darkest of glass, including black.  Other "color decals" out there only fire on white or ivory glass without losing color and shape integrity.  Our decals become vibrant on dark color glass and never lose shape of color when fired properly. 
Whether you purchase your decals from a wholesale company or from AAE Glass,  be sure they are made by AAE Glass. 
Handmade art is very special to both the artist and the recipient.  Be sure to use the highest quality decals available.
As usual, we look forward to seeing how you, the artist, will use this new product and we are here to help you succeed.

Have fun and keep fusing!

Tanya Veit's Glass Fusing Club

We enjoyed appetizers, wine and created a sea life themed plate (example above) all in a relaxed and fun environment.  We welcome anyone in the area to join us next month, Friday September 21st, 6-8:30.  More info can be found HERE.  Please be sure to RSVP either online or by calling 239-471-7724 because seats are limited and most of this months participants are coming back next month.    

We shared some great ideas about glass fusing, business in general as well as laughs.  We hope to see you next month!

Featured Artist Crystel Cabrera of CCDesigns Jewelry

AAE Glass wants to introduce you to Crystel Cabrera of CCDesigns Jewelry.  Crystel is highly inspired by nature in Florida.  She makes her own rules and that is something we admire.  Here is more about Crystel and her beautiful glass jewelry.

 

 LIVING IN FLORIDA, I find nature to be my constant inspiration, from the colors of the ocean and its tropical surroundings to the golden brilliance of the sun. I like unusual colors and designs and love creating one of a kind pieces. Embellishments and unique findings add playfulness and excitement to my pieces. I love all of my creations and it is sometimes hard to part with them, if you are buying one I hope you love it as much as I do.

 

FLORIDA JEWELRY DESIGNER, CRYSTEL CABRERA built her career in glass fusing by following her own set of rules.  With a commitment to remain true to her vision it has allowed her the ability to change with the times while keeping her designs pure.
Born in Delaware, Crystel 
spent her childhood surrounded 
by musicians and artists. Her biggest influence was her grandmother, who introduced her to sewing and art.
With aspirations to be an artist and a love for art it laid the foundation for creativity and inspiration, which is evident in her designs.
Attending the ART INSTITUTE OF PHILADELPHIA for graphic design in 1982, she moved to Florida to pursue a career in design. Working in the publishing industry as a Creative Director, she was again surrounded by other creative individuals who motivated her to open her own graphic design business.
While successful for many years in graphic design, it was time for Crystel’s next chapter, getting back to her artistic roots.  After exploring many mediums of art, she stumbled upon glass fusing while vacationing in Key West. Intrigued by the process of fusing glass by melting it at high temperatures in 
a kiln, Crystel was hooked.
Inspired by Florida’s natural surroundings, Crystel works 
with different types of glass combinations to achieve unique, brilliantly colored art to wear. From necklaces and bracelets, to earrings and pendants, each piece of art is individually hand-crafted to create her one-of-a-kind signature pieces.

My Glass Odyssey

We at AAE Glass like to share fun information with our readers whenever we can.  John Waterman (writer, director and producer) took a road trip to visit several different glass shops and came back with a documentary film called My Glass Odyssey. You can view the trailer as well as interviews with John on the My Glass Odyssey web page.
John and his dog Frito interviewed 99 glass artists in three years to compile this film.  John won a Silver Ace award for this documentary this past weekend and his dedication to spreading the word about glass art is just what this industry needs.  I believe that I speak for all glass artists when I say "Thanks for your work John."
AAE Glass shares in John's passion for glass art and vows to spread the word to anyone who will listen.  We hope you do the same.  Please share this with anyone you know who loves glass art or who enjoys a good documentary.
