I've been wanting to add a blog to our website (www.creativeglasscarvings.com) to offer help to fellow glass artists. We meet so many that have the same questions and that, even after 30 years in the art glass business, I'm still learning something new, I felt I could reach more people with a blog. To learn more about me, our store and those that keep it going, visit our website www.creativeglasscarvings.com .

My main goal with this blog it to share what I know, answer questions and keep fellow glass artists up on what's new on the market.

Since it's the season for giving and receiving and because this year I've promised myself that I would remind my customers that we are working in a toxic hobby that they do need to do whatever they can to stay safe. SO, everyone who is working in stained glass and doesn't own the d-lead hand cleaner and a fume trap must put that on their want list for Christmas. If you don't celebrate the holiday then purchase one for yourself! But don't wait, this stuff craft is toxic. I wish I had followed these recommendations starting 30 years ago when at 16 I started in this craft.

Since I'm not sure this blog was set up right, this will be all for the first blog but when I make sure it's all up and running, I'll post regularly...and update you on the online stained glass classes that we've had on hold for the last 6 years and we will finally resume after the first of the year.
