Create Your Own Fused Glass Jewelry and Holiday Ornaments | Class schedule and info

What? Why am I talking about Christmas in August? Well, one reason is because the holiday season always seems to creep up on me and then I am scrambling to fill holiday orders and create plenty of fused glass goodness for the holiday markets. The other reason is because you need time to find the right day to take these awesome ornament and jewelry classes! Last year, I waited too long to offer these classes and it made me sad, this year, I decided to start earlier. A lot earlier!

This year Sassy Glass Studio is offering classes for three different fused glass ornaments and a jewelry class! Holiday Ornaments to choose from this year include snowflakes, Christmas trees or picture frame ornaments and there are four class dates available. Jewelry Class is the perfect opportunity to create your choice of four jewelry pieces, such as pendants, earrings and rings, to give as gifts or keep for yourself.

Holiday Ornaments

You choose the ornament you would like to create and the date. All classes must be prepaid. Class size is limited to five students, so don't wait to book! Classes are about an hour {no more than two} and are perfect for anyone over the age of 10 {with adult present}. Depending on the ornaments you choose, you may be handling glass that has not been fired which could be sharp. You will not have to cut any glass! Ornaments will be ready for pick-up within one week.

{Snowflake}
These are the most popular Sassy Glass Studio holiday ornament of all time! Fused glass snowflakes are created from strips of glass, which will be pre-cut for the class in a wide variety of colors. All you have to do is choose the colors, assemble and we'll fire them for you! We'll even finish them with a silver bail and ornament hanger.
Class is only $75 and includes all materials and instructions to complete five snowflake ornaments

{Christmas Tree}
The Christmas Trees are super fun to make because you get to choose tiny colorful glass bubbles to decorate your tree! The fused glass trees will be ready for you so all you need to do is decorate your tree and then we will fire it for you. We'll finish each of your ornaments with a silver bail and ornament hanger too.
Class is only $75 and includes all materials and instructions to complete four Christmas Tree ornaments

New for 2014! This ornament is a little different than the others because you get to decorate it with your own photographs. Your will create 3 inch square fused glass photograph frames in your choice of colors, then you can use an adhesive, such as E6000, to attach photographs to the frames when you get them home. You simply assemble the the pre-cut pieces in your choice of colors and we'll fire them. A silver bail and ornament hanger will also be attached for you.
Class is only $75 and includes all materials and instructions to complete four photo frames

Fresh Fused Glass Goodness | Late Summer Edition - Part I

Well, I fell off my weekly blogging schedule. I hate making excuses, so I won't. Let's just say things have been really crazy awesome (and busy) at Sassy Glass Studio and I have a lot of posts coming your way very soon. In the meantime, I wanted to share some of the fused glass goodness I have created this summer. I'm at the Market Square Farmers' Market most every Saturday from 9 to 2 {check out the calendar on the right hand side} if you live in the area and would like to check out my work in person, but almost everything is now in the Etsy shop, so you can check it out there as well. This is Part I of II, so be sure to check back soon!

I'm particularly excited about all the new Fusography designs! If you have suggestions for types of images or photographs, please share them. Also, if you are a graphic designer or artist and would love to have your work on fused glass, I am looking to partner with a few artists on new collections.

Beach Trip | Relax. Recharge.

Sometimes you need to take a few days to relax. To recharge. And become less crabby. Which is why I take the occasional mini-vacation to Jacksonville, Florida as part of "Operation Less Crabby Kitty". Over the Memorial Day weekend I traveled further South to visit my best friend, Carol, for a few days. We go to the beach, we play Scrabble, we drink margaritas, we eat fried food and pizza and we laugh. We laugh a lot. 

I always feel better about myself, my life, my work, my relationships and my art after a few days in the sun and a little tequila. I wanted to share a few photos from my time away. Even though I took my DSLR I never took it out of the Pelican case and shot a single frame with it. Sometimes it is fun to just use the camera I have on hand.

Enjoy my photos and don't forget to make time in your life for your own "Operation Less Crabby Kitty". You'll feel much better, I promise!

Do you love to create? Got a secret (or maybe not so secret!) stash of craft supplies? Do you often have glitter in your hair? Then you might be interested in coming to the Etsy Craft Party on June 6th. The Etsy Craft Party is an annual event and the Knoxville party is hosted by the Knoxville Creative Hands Street Team {KCHST}. As the Captain of KCHST, I want to personally invite you to this super fun crafty event. Visit this link and RSVP if you would like to join us. It's also a great opportunity to meet other local crafty peeps and find out more about KCHST and what we're all about.

Last year we crafted market bags from t-shirts and donated them to the Market Square Farmers' Market. This year's theme is Recapture, Bring new meaning to your photographs. This year’s theme focuses on transforming photographs into display-worthy works of art using a variety of craft supplies and creative techniques. You can find out what to bring and what to expect in the event invite.








It's going to be a lot of fun and I'd love to see you there. There are only 15 tickets left, so don't wait to RSVP
