Hey Glass Artists--how are you all doing?
Thank you very much for your purchases in the past. Take a look at our new inventory and see if you can find something you need at a great price. We offer free and combined shipping and try to stay competitive with our prices because as gas and milk and bread keep going up that leaves less and less for your creative stained glass artwork.
We're all on the precipice of the stained glass movement. Do you feel it? All kinds of things pulling at our creativity. You may be struggling for some type of clarity. This newsletter is called Putting The Pieces Together. We're going to talk about the clarity that comes to the stained glass artist when they have a great studio name to go by. What is in a name? Be it your studio name or your eBay user id. I imagine your parents put some serious thought into your name. But some of you may still be working with the moniker "I'm a stained glass artist". That's great that you now look at yourself that way, as a artist. But how great is it to have a studio name for yourself?--whether you started your work in the garage, the kitchen, or the converted bedroom.
My stained glass work started in the basement. Of course, I minimized it as the basement studio or my glass studio in the basement. But once you start working with students inevitably they want to know how you got where you are. Wanting to be an inspiration for their future growth instead of saying--yeah, I toiled in the basement, I used it as the basis for my studio name. My goal was to have a storefront to work from. But before my mind could go there I had to have a name to put on the sign in front of my stained glass studio.
So it went like basement studio, studio in the basement, studio basement??? There was Cutting Edge, Jagged Edge, PTPT, Burt's Studio. But I wanted the name to represent my beginnings and the growth I'd accomplished but not be narcissistic. So if you've got a great family history (3 Generations Stained Glass), a town name that you've always liked (Broken Arrow Stained Glass) or something that goes to your core. Something that's as easy to talk about as it is for you to take a breath of air. Then you have found some clarity about who you are as an artist and what your studio name represents. Having this will allow you to remain on your stained glass precipice and continue putting the pieces together.
Thanks again for your past patronage and I wish you all well in the abundance of stained glass endeavors which are surely coming your way.

- I really couldn't say it any better! Underneath their cool, calm and collected exterior, Taureans differ greatly from all the other signs of the zodiac. Taureans manage to discreetly stay apart from the crowd, even though they have a well-earned reputation for being socialisers. They will let others get close, but only so close as they want them. Some claim that trying to get your point across to a Taurean, should they not want to hear you, is rather similar to talking to the trees – they simply won't budge. And, there is no such thing as an open-book Taurean. Their feelings, fears and desires often run far deeper than anyone around them would guess. Like the butterfly that chooses to remain hidden in its cocoon until it is ready and prepared to emerge, so the true Taurean spirit remains hidden behind a veneer of day-to-day activities. That's why Taureans are sometimes regarded as snobby, withdrawn, boring, or even sulky.
