It's gonna be a Sassy new year!

Happy Sassy New Year!

Over the last year, I spend  lot of time focusing on my photography business, ALM Photo {no pun intended} and not on Sassy Glass Studio. There is no real reason why this happened, except that my husband and I work together in ALM Photo and if he was heading to the office, I would go along with him without considering whether I needed to spend time in the glass studio. I spent very little time creating new art in 2012 and my Etsy shop was nearly bare. If I was out in the glass studio, I was creating new pieces just to have something to sell at the Market Square Farmers' Market which runs each Saturday starting in May until the end of December.

Toward the end of 2012, I started paying attention to how I was using my time between both of my businesses, my personal life and taking time away from work to relax and renew. I didn't like what I saw. Too much time in the office, not enough time working in my businesses, too much time working on them and too much time doing what other people wanted me to do. I started making notes, both written and mental, on these observations and decided there had to be a change.

Starting with this blog post, you can expect to see more frequent posts about Sassy Glass Studio, about me, about what I am creating, about where you can find my work, about where I am working on getting my work into and maybe even about my pets. My point is, you will be more from me. And I hope you like it. Life is too short not to wake up every day and do what I love. I love photography and fused glass art and I've decided one isn't going to get more attention that the other.

Come join me on my journey in 2013 to...
Be more creative!
Be more active!
Be more social!
Be more productive!
Be more awesome!

Oh, and be sure to follow me on all of my favorite social media platforms listed over here ---->>>

March is National Craft Month | Creative Business Workshop | Fused Glass Classes


Would you love to learn how to create your own one-of-a-kind fused glass art? Or are you an artist looking to make money selling your creations? Either way, I have you covered. March is National Craft Month and it's not too late to get your craft on at Sassy Glass Studio. We have something for those who create and for those your want to create. See you soon!



First, I want to let you know I am offering a Creative Business Workshop in conjunction with a collaboration of my two creative businesses, ALM Photo and Sassy Glass Studio. This full-day workshop is only $79 and will teach you how to take your creative business to the next level and is perfect for artists who have been selling their art at shows and fairs for years or for new craftspeople getting started selling on Etsy. Lots of emphasis will be placed on pricing, marketing, customer retention and creating your brand. You will also learn some tips and tricks for photographing your work to catch the customer's eye in a sea of handmade goodness. You can register for the class here or contact me at lisa@sassyglassstudio.com or 865-406-3870.


Second, Spring is a great time to schedule a Beginner Fused Glass Class {or Intermediate if you have already taken the Beginner Class} and learn how to create some amazing art of your own. Who knows maybe you'll be signing up for the Creative Business Workshop next time around. Classes are taught on  your schedule so you don't have to rearrange your life just to take the class. Bring some friends and save on your class fee. Find out more or register for class here.
