Fresh from the kiln: Fusography Coasters

Fresh from the kiln

These Fusography coasters just came out of the kiln and I'm working on getting them listed in the Etsy shop, but had to share them here first.

It's been a while since I did any with this cute camera design and the red and mint green are two new colors I haven't done before. What do you think?

Be sure to check the Etsy shop for these listings or drop me a line and let me know if you see one (or more) that you must have! Coasters are $15 each and shipping is $6 for up to 4 coasters.

I'll be listing these coasters in the Etsy shop today and tomorrow! Custom coasters, pendants, plates, and platters are also available with your own images! You send me the image(s), I turn them into fusible decals, create the fused glass pieces, fire the decals and you get one-of-a-kind fused glass art!

Fusography video series and ebook coming soon!

Good news for those of you who have been waiting patiently for the Fusography workshop video series! It will be available in August! If you are interested in updates on the video series or want to be informed of when it is available for purchase, sign up here. I've been working on the content and now I'm almost ready to start shooting the video. If I were to teach an in-person Fusography class/workshop it would take about a week, so the video series is the smartest, most time-efficient approach, even though I love in-person teaching. Maybe I will offer a downloadable cardboard cutout so you can pretend I am there teaching.

Super Sassy Sizzling Summer Sale

Have you ever realized you have waaaay too many of a certain thing? Maybe it's shoes. Maybe it's makeup. Maybe it's cats. What do you do when you make this realization? You declutter. Except with the cats. You're kind of stuck with them. Well, this is just the dilemma I found myself in with fused glass pendants. I have hundreds of pendants available and most of them are not listed in the Etsy shop (but they will be soon)! So, in an effort to reduce inventory and make room for new designs, all fused glass pendants in stock are now only $10. Yes, only $10!!! Stock up and save or do some early holiday shopping. The price is right!

Want to receive monthly updates on new items and sales? Sign up here!

Check out the newest Fusography designs in the Etsy shop! In the next few weeks, I will be stocking some new Fusography designs on my shelf in the Handmade shops at Southern Market too!

Summer Fusography Designs in the Sassy Glass Studio Etsy Shop!

And the sale goes on and on and on....

I'm still healing so the Spring Break Price Break continues!

I've been unable to work in the glass studio while my leg and elbow fractures heal, but I've been busy searching for the perfect designs (on Etsy of course!) to use in the creation of new Fusography pieces! There are so many talented graphic designs out there! I love to use digital papers for my pieces because they usually feature a repeated design and are already square like most of the pieces I create. I'm loading the Etsy shop up with coasters, but any of the designs can be turned into plates, platters, pendants, rings and more! Call, email or social media message me for a price quote!

Check out the new designs below or click here to purchase in the Etsy shop!

SNEAK PEEK - these will be added to the shop soon!

If you are interested in learning how to create your own Fusography fused glass pieces, I will be creating a video and ebook to walk you through the entire process from ordering the decals to firing your creations. Sign up here to be notified when the video and ebook are available this summer! Find out more about the Beginner and Intermediate Fused Glass Classes I offer here.

New Year. New Fusography Collections.

So much has happened with Sassy Glass Studio since I fired my first kiln load of fused glass goodness nearly 9 years ago. There have been periods of intense creative growth, the addition of new products and designs, lots of markets, studio reorganizations, many students to teach and the building of a sustainable creative business. But there has also been so much more than all that. I've evolved as an artist and creative entrepreneur, and I'm now running three businesses- Sassy Glass Studio, ALM Photo, and Pink Spark Creative. Pink Spark Creative is where I share all of the knowledge, lessons and experience I have gained as a creative entrepreneur over the last 10+ years. It was because of the growth of ALM Photo and my desire to launch Pink Spark Creative that I spent very little time in the glass studio last year. In fact, I took nearly a complete break from May to November. It was a much-needed break, but I was back in the studio before the holiday markets and now I'm recharged and ready to take things in a bit of a different direction.

As you may know, I took a small space within Handmade at Southern Market along with 50 or so other Knoxville area Etsy sellers in October. This opportunity forced me to evaluate the items I was creating and offering for sale there and in my Etsy shop. And it also made me realize it was time to "practice what I preach" to my Pink Spark Creative clients and offer a smaller selection of items that, while still one-of-a-kind and handmade, could be made in limited quantities or duplicated.

So, that leads me to the announcement of some of the new Fusography Collections for 2016. I've really enjoyed designing artwork that can then be turned into a decal and fired onto my glass art. The first pieces will be coasters, but I'll be expanding to plates, platters, small trinket dishes and more over the next few months. Being able to add coordinating patterns to my pieces is something truly unique that no other fused glass artist is doing. For once, I am on the cutting edge!

These coasters were created to give folks a fun pop of color on their desk and either motivation, inspiration or a good laugh. If you have any suggestions for designs, please let me know. I am always open to new ideas!

Visit the Sassy Glass Studio Etsy shop to purchase. As of January 24, 2016 not all of these items are listed in the shop, but they will be. Also, the turnaround time is currently about 3 weeks until I determine which designs will be created and sold on a regular basis. (This is probably why I have procrastinated about doing this for like three years. I didn't know what to create!)

And, if you are interested in learning how to create your own fused glass goodness, I will begin teaching beginner and intermediate classes again in April. At this time, I do not teach a class in the Fusography method as it is a long process and would take about a week to cover. I will, however, be creating a video and possible an ebook on the process that will be available for sale.

Learn Something New! Take a Fused Glass Class

I love learning new things! Do you?

I also love teaching others new things, like how to create fused glass art!

For over seven years, I have been teaching my Beginner Fused Glass Class to students from across the country in my Knoxville, TN studio. The first half of the super fun, four-hour class is spent in the classroom learning about the different types of glass used for fusing, materials that can be used as inclusions, designing your project, selecting and cutting glass and so much more. 

During the second half of the class, students will spend some time honing their glass cutting skills before selecting the glass for their project and getting to work creating their one-of-a-kind work of art. Students may choose one of two projects, a set of four 4-inch square coasters or an 8-inch square suncatcher or trivet.

The Beginner Fused Glass Class is perfect for folks who love learning how to create art using a new medium and for those interested in developing or expanding their glass fusing skills. Many students sign up for the Intermediate Fused Glass Class soon after completing the Beginner Fused Glass Class because they have fallen in love with fusing. Don't say I didn't warn you!

There are several dates and times available for classes as shown below, but I am always open to working with your schedule to find a mutually convenient time for a class. Class size is limited to four students, so don't wait to book your day and time. Class fee includes instruction, information packet with class notes, usage of tools and all materials.

Contact me via email or at 865-406-3870 to schedule or for more information. A 50% deposit is due when booking to hold your date and time. Book your class with two or more people and you each save $20!

Sassy Glass Studio will be back at the Market Square Farmers' Market on Saturday, June 27th from 9am to 2pm.

Fusography | Available in the Etsy shop!

So excited to get a listing created in the Etsy shop for the Fusography coasters! This is so you can order your own set of four one-of-a-kind fused glass coasters with your own fabulous photographs. You can find the listing here and more about how I create Fusography pieces here.

Listings for plates, bowls, and platters will be coming soon. There is already a listing for a pendant here.

This is an example of a set of coasters I created using my photographs. So yours would be different photos, but the same amazing quality.

Let me know if you have any questions about ordering or our wholesale program.

Custom Creations | Weddings, Anniversary, Birthday & Holiday Gifts

Ever run into a brick wall when trying to find the perfect wedding gift? Well, I don't mean a literal brick wall, but you've exhausted all of your shopping options and are ready to give up. If you can relate, I can help you! Sassy Glass Studio can custom create the perfect work of art for someone your love or someone you are wearing yourself out shopping for.

Here are three suggestions that are truly one-of-a-kind and will show how much you care. Even if you don't.

Coasters: Coasters are typically sold in a set of four and can be created in lots of color combinations and designs. This is a great choice if you would like to give a color-coordinated gift. Coasters are also available with Fusography. Click the link to find out more about Fusography. Imagine giving someone a gift featuring their own photographs or images from their favorite place. Your gift would definitely be one of their favorites!

Sushi plates, platters and sets: Times have changed and many couples getting married are either already living together or combining two households, so their need for the traditional housewares gifts is limited. How about giving a set of two or more plates or platters colors to coordinate with their dinnerware, so choose something that would be great for entertaining. Be creative with colors and patterns or add full-color Fusography.

Pendants: Small and wallet-friendly, a pendant is the perfect gift for anyone who loves to make a statement with their wardrobe. Or for anyone, like me, who wears a lot of black and needs a splash of color to make it pop. Pendants can be created in almost any color combo and can also include Fusography. Rings can be made to color-coordinate too!
