It's a Zoo down here!

Elephant Travel Mug by Gustabo R.

It's critter week at Brushstrokes- and animals have been turning up in the most unexpected places...

Where do cows like to go on dates? To the mooooo-vies. Or Brushstrokes!

Ms Ana's fourth graders are studying bees at Peralta Elementary.

We've even started preparing for our new summer camps. Arty Einstein campers will take a look at some of the world's smallest creatures-- phytoplankton!

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!

Announcing our latest offering: Glass Fusing at Brushstrokes

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!
