This is how I feel when I go to Harmony Stained Glass.

(and I work here) 

Hi Everyone -

This week I am off to Austin for a glass conference.  In addition to teaching some Harmony techniques, I'll be taking several classes to bring back the latest fun ideas to use and teach at Harmony.  

We'll be open regular hours.  In addition to the regular crew, Lloyd will be helping to hold down the fort.  You know we always have the coffee on and the good times roll, even while I'm away!

I'll be back on June 29th.  I'll have lots of cool stuff to share.   I hope to see you then.

Joyce

PS:  There's a lot of great stuff in this newsletter.  Please read all the way to the bottom.

Where do you go after Beginning Stained Glass?  

How do you learn more techniques and expand your experience?  

What do you do when you find that it's more fun to craft with company?

What if you have constant interruptions at home and you can't finish anything? 

You need to come to Intermediate Stained Glass!  It's more than a class, it's a social event too.    

It's the place to be to create and learn while enjoying the company of other glass crafters.  Not only is it more fun to work with others, if you need help, Randy, Angela, Marianne or Joyce will be right there to help you!

Hanging Gardens

Sunday, June 30 from 1 to 4pm

In this fun one-day workshop you'll learn to create fabulous flowers that never wilt.  You'll learn the basics of using lead came to finish the edges of the glass.

These little masterpieces go together easily because we wrap them in lead and only solder the joints. We also use wire to show detail so that you don't have to cut any little pieces.

The "Le Fleur" hanger at the top is a one-of-a-kind.  We have others that are similar or you can use a simpler way to hang your new garden.  

It's only 34 pieces and they're easy to cut but you'll want to come by the store to get your pattern and glass so that you can bring them to class already cut out.

When you look at these stylish Deep Drop-Ring Vessels, you can't help but touch them.  Even though they are kiln-formed, there are no marks from the mold or shelf.  It's as if they were mouth-blown rather than kiln-formed.

In this class, you'll create two vessels in different styles.  On the first day of class, you'll set up your glass for the first firing.  Then the participants will arrange a follow-up class for the cold-working.

New skills:  We'll use the wet tile saw, the Taurus Ring Saw and the flat-lap grinder to polish the top edge to a high-gloss shine.
