Summer is starting

Memorial Day has been celebrated, schools are gearing down to close for the semester, and many families are getting ready for vacations. Ah....summer.
We're doing something new this year here at Rowe Studios - we're teaching classes instead of taking the summer off. You can check the calendar for times and dates. There are 2 sessions of beginning stained glass starting in July: one on Wednesday mornings, and one on Thursday evenings. We have an intermediate stained glass class scheduled for Wednesday evenings in July too - for beginning lead came construction.
We have set aside Friday mornings in June for introduction to mosaics. It's a relaxing and fun way to get out of the heat, socialize, learn about making mosaics, and recycle glass. In fact, with all the antique glass scrap we've been cleaning and putting out for sale, there's lots of colors and textures. The best part, all the materials are included in the tuition. If you do stained glass, you'll most likely have scraps at home ... and this is the perfect way to recycle instead of throwing away. How many times can you say that you're starting a new project without spending any money?
I'd love to hear requests for classes. You can send me an email, give me a call, or better yet, stop by and talk to me. We have kilns and torches for hot glass classes too. I even have a carton of wine glasses that I thought would be fun to etch designs on - anyone want to do a morning class?
Come in and look through all the hand-rolled glass we have out now. Everything that was upstairs in storage is now out for your browsing pleasure. And all the Genesis, Chicago Art Glass, Fusion Dynamics, and Fischer Opals are on sale with a 30% discount. This is a wonderful opportunity to buy glass that hasn't been made for quite a while - so you'll be sure to find something unique.
