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...

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

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!
