Going Green | Introducing the 'Recycling Center'

One day as I was cleaning and removing the labels from some wine bottles to flatten into cheese trays, I realized I could do something different with the bottles. I could break them! Not only could I create some new art, but I could also relieve my frustrations. Awesome!

This past Saturday at the Market Square Farmers' Market Sassy Glass Studio introduced the 'Recycling Center' featuring fused glass goodness created from recycled {or if you prefer 'upcycled'} glass bottles. These pieces join the wine bottle cheese trays I have been created for several years and are a small bowl and a business card holder. Additional pieces will be added to the collection over the next few weeks.

The bottle used to create these pieces was a Pellegrino water bottle which is a fabulous shade of light bright green. I am always on the hunt for colored bottles, so if you or someone you know has any to share, be sure to send them my way.

Knoxville Creative Hands Street Team Spring Show & Sale

Many of you know that one of my passions is being an Etsy seller. I love how Etsy lets me share my one-of-a-kind fused glass goodness with the world without having to venture from Knoxville. Several years ago, the Knoxville Creative Hands Street Team {KCHST} was formed with the intent of giving local Etsy sellers an opportunity to unite and network, share and learn as well as hold events to showcase our varied artist talents and crafts.

As the captain of the Knoxville Etsy Team many long hours are spent organizing and marketing this event so it means a lot to me when my friends, family and customers come and check it out. I hope to see you there and thank you for your continued support of the local handmade community.

The Knoxville Creative Hands Street Team Spring Show & Sale is on the 14th from 10am to 6pm. Come shop Knoxville-area Etsy sellers at 127 W. Jackson Avenue in the Old City. While you are downtown, visit the Market Square Farmers' Market, where you will find me most every Saturday this summer, or the coffee houses and restaurants in the Old City. This is a free, family-friendly event and there is lots of parking in the area.

Sassy Glass Studio will be back at Market Square Farmers' Market on Saturday, May 21st from 9am to 2pm. Be sure to stop by and check out one of the most amazing reasons to live in Knoxville.
