Glass-tastic!

Glass fusing has arrived!

Just a few weeks into a new venture and our minds are spinning with possibilities!

Glass is more versatile than we imagined. We've seen gorgeous necklaces, dazzling suncatchers and elegant slumped bowls (just to name a few of the fabulous projects our busy community has created).

It's hard to think of something that this glass can't do. Although I still haven't figure out how to make that glass slipper... maybe in a couple weeks Prince Charming.

Slumping a project gives flat fusing three dimensions

Bedazzle your windows

Ten-year-old Kate certainly has a knack for glass!

Got any ideas for glass fusing? Let us know! Comment, or come by the studio!

Painting pottery together on Valentine's Day

It was such a sweet day down at Brushstrokes yesterday...with some lovely couples coming to spend quality time together (while singing along to oldies on Pandora). Thanks for sharing your day with us!

Join us for an open house this Sunday from 10-2 when we will introduce a new way to make something beautiful at Brushstrokes. Glass fusing is easy and fun -- for artists of all ages.

It's Auction Season

Wow, these auction platters look beautiful. Good work to the ladies at Beth El for pulling together some amazing class projects. I heard they fetched a pretty penny!

"Dish Dine Paint & Wine"

Join us for our new series called "Dish, Dine, Paint & Wine." We'll get together once a month for a simple step-by-step class that will include some really fun, easy techniques. This Autumn Leaf plate includes lace on the outside and some specialty glazes we don't normally carry in the studio. Our first event is this Friday, October 1st and we'll let you know how it goes! If you're able to join us for the November project shown above, the date is Friday, November 5th from 7-9 pm. Feel free to bring wine and food -- this project is stress-free and allows plenty of time to socialize and relax.
