            **TASTER SESSIONS SOLD OUT** 
Textural Fused Glass Mosaics SATURDAY 9am-11:30 OR SUNDAY 9am-11:30
When you're a glass fuser, you end up saving lots of scraps because you can use them again and again. But, are you running out of ideas to help you use those scraps? Then, you need to try your hand at fused glass mosaics!  No Days Artist and Instructor Carrie Strope Sohayda will show you how to use No Days Thinfuse to turn multiple kiln firings into just one.  We’ll create a faux tack fuse without the kiln. You’ll also learn tips for working with frits that keep it in place, even if you have to drive your piece to the kiln!
Painting with Frit SATURDAY 2pm-4:30pm OR SUNDAY 2pm-4:30pm

Learn how to control frits to make a detailed, layered design in fused glass. We’ll talk about adding depth by mixing different textures and discuss the guidelines for color blending to create successful custom frit mixes. Learn how to create color reactions and avoid surprises. Patterns will be provided in class.

This sale is for walk-ins only, no shipping.  In stock items only, no backorders.  No sheets will be cut down during the sale. No phone or email orders.  Bullseye products only.

The AAE Glass Art Studio in Cape Coral, will be Closed March 26th-31st

The AAE Glass Art Studio staff will be making the trip across the country to Las Vegas for the Glass Craft & Bead Expo in late March.  The studio located in Cape Coral, Florida will be closed from March 26th until March 31st and will re-open to the public on Tuesday April 1st.
AAEGlass.com will be filling orders as usual during this time.

We have attended this expo for the past few years and this will be Tanya's second time teaching two sold out workshops.  This trip is important to AAE Glass and our students as it gives us a chance to review new products, teaching styles and more.  By educating ourselves on new products, Tanya can develop new classes and techniques to share at the AAE Glass Art Studio in Cape Coral, Florida, or in DVD form or as a FREE Saturday video.  Anyone who follows what Tanya and AAE Glass have been doing in the glass world will benefit from our trip to Las Vegas. 

We thank those of you in SW Florida for your patience while we work to bring you an even better glass fusing experience.

BluDragonfly - Glass Art by Christine Wilson

AAE Glass would like to share some beautiful fused glass art from BluDragonfly - Glass Art by Christine Wilson.  Christine has been creating for 20 years and has dozens of unique, fused glass designs to offer these days. I will let Christine tell you about her history with glass and we thank her for sharing. 
I am originally from the west coast of Canada and relocated to Colorado in 1997.   The mountains of Colorado are such an inspiration for richness of color and texture and the beauty of nature.  Many of my projects are inspired by the changing colors of the aspen trees and the deep blue sky of Colorado.  There really is a reason why they call it colorful Colorado!
 
My interest in creating jewelry started over 20 years ago.  In 2007 I took a beginning lampworking class at a local studio so that I could incorporate my own handmade glass beads into jewelry projects.  My fascination with glass pulled me in the direction of fused glass art in 2009.   I followed up my study in fused glass by taking Tanya Veit's Extreme Fusing I & II Workshops in Denver in 2011 and 2012.  She has inspired me to create beautiful works of art in glass fusing.  I have also participated in Tanya's webinars hosted by Glass Patterns Quarterly.  When Tanya is unable to come to us, it is refreshing to be able to do a webinar and learn additional techniques from her!  I am also a regular participant at the Saturday Night Video Club! 
 
As my glass art grew in popularity, I began participating in Colorado art and craft shows and started my own business, BluDragonfly.   I currently I have an Etsy shop - www.BluDragonfly.etsy.com.  I love experimenting with color combinations and I am always interested in which pieces of glass art customers are drawn towards.   Sometimes I am lucky enough to combine my handmade glass beads into fused glass art projects to make truly unique items.
 
All my glass projects are created in my home studio in Northern Colorado.  All the pieces are started from scratch – I cut the glass and create the design using colorful glass, stringer and frit combinations.  I love the aspect that each piece becomes a One Of A Kind (OOAK). 
 
My fused glass pendants have also won several awards in various local jewelry competitions.  When I am not in the studio, my husband and I are out exploring the hiking trails of Northern Colorado.
