    And let me reveal a little secret. It did not go so smoothly, so you will learn a lot more than I originally planned.

    As you all know, glass has a mind of its own.  Bitmoji Image

    Virtual Get Together

    Virtual Get Together

    Dear Fellow Glass Artists,

    It looks like a lot of us will be staying at home longer than we first anticipated. So lets find new ways to get together.  Thanks to technology we can do this most easily online. Even Facebook has a new feature called “Room” where we can get together with a group of up to 20 people.

    This is why I started a virtual Get Together 2 weeks  ago. We all are new at this and do learn together. But they are fun and I think I will offer them on a regular basis.

    So if you are tired of being alone in your studio you can meet with like minded people around the world? Join our virtual “Get-Together” that we are hosting through our Face Book Group at different times on Saturdays or Sundays. We try to accommodate all the time zones in the USA as well as other parts of the world.

    ESD – 2 pm = 8 pm in Europe, and 7 pm in the UK

    ESD – 6 pm = 8 am the next day in Australia

    The “Virtual Get Together in our Creative Kiln Forming Group is to exchange ideas, inspire and get inspired by meeting fellow glass artists. We are exchanging information, marketing ideas techniques and more. If the time allows it, I will also do a show and tell of a short Kaiser Lee Board project. But those meeting are not a class or a workshop.

    They should be the platform for you to get to know other glass artists around the world, ask questions and may be answer questions from others in the group.

    Hope to see in one of them soon

    Your Get Together Host

    For those of you who would like to take a workshop or just need a little bit of mentoring, I offered the option of taking a virtual mentoring session or an actual one on one workshop. You will find more information about those features HERE. And if you have any questions, please call me.

    Me for You – You for Me

    Me for You – You for Me

    Last week I went shopping in a small store, where the owner as well as her staff wore face masks. But many of their customers did not. After I asked her how she felt about it, she said as long they don’t make mask wearing mandatory, she could not say anything. So I made her a sign and it is already making a difference.

    Some of you might have a similar situation and If you like, you could print a PDF File of this image to make your own sign(s).

    Those of you who have met me personally know how I love to be with people. Since the current developments give little hope that I will be able to see many of you personally this year, I wanted to try a get together in our Facebook Group “Creative Kiln Forming”.

    This get together is meant to get to know each other, ask questions and if it works well, we could repeat it regularly. Artists thrive by exchanging ideas and collaborating. And this could become our platform.

    For those of you who would want to take a class, I also added a virtual class option to our cart.

    Dessert Plate for Dough-less Fruit Tart

    Dessert Plate for Dough-less Fruit Tart

    These Dessert Dishes are ideal for a Dough Less Tart.

    Under the fruits is just a layer of whipped cream or mousse o chocolate to hold the fruits in place. Sprinkle with some nuts and add a little more cream on top and voila – your fruit tart is done.

    If you like to see how the plates are done, please watch the video below.

    You only need a 6″ x 6″ x 1″ Kaiser Lee Board to create this beautiful reverse dish mold. If you are afraid of doing it yourself, we also offer a cutting service. Which we will wave with any order over $ 75.
