Dear AAE Glass Family,

We would like to extend a huge thank you and hug to all of you! These last several months have been hard for everyone. There is no sugarcoating that. But we are going to get through this by helping and supporting each other like we always have. The art glass industry is a resilient and resourceful one. Filled with strong, passionate, hardworking people who will stop at nothing to grow their glass art skills.

First of all, Tanya insists on a couple deep breaths and a virtual hug. Just take a moment for yourself. Close your eyes or stare out the window, just get lost for a minute and clear your head. We'll wait...

We miss you! We have received so many notes from you that are extremely heartfelt and uplifting, especially lately, that we wanted to let you know that we hear you, we feel the love and we send it right back to you!

So many of you have been with us since the beginning. We have grown together. We have succeeded and failed together. We have laughed and cried together. We are proud to have such a tight knit group of artists who are so willing to not only support us, but support each other. We all benefit in the end from such relationships.

We have also had the pleasure of virtually meeting so many new artists these past few months. Thank you for coming aboard and please don't be shy about sharing and participating. Ask questions and share your failures. We all learn from both.

Just, thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for your support. Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your uplifting messages. Thank you for continuing to support the fused glass industry. We have some exciting things coming right around the corner. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Sincerely,

The Veit Family

We at AAE Glass are proud to host Alice Benvie Gebhart’s online video tutorial: Building a Landscape. Alice is an international instructor and glass artist who now shares her knowledge in this professionally filmed and edited video found in the AAE Glass Education Center.

Alice will guide you chapter by chapter while you learn how to create a landscape from start to finish. Watch and rewatch as many times as you wish, or refer back when needed. The video will be available to you 24/7.

Join the private Facebook group hosted by AAE Glass, featuring Alice Benvie Gebhart, when you purchase this online video. You and fused glass artists around the world are able to communicate, share experiences, failures and beautiful finished landscapes. Alice is also in the group, so the learning never ends.

Watch the video trailer to see exactly what you will be learning. Read dozens of reviews from glass artists who have purchased this online video as they share their high praise for Alice and this class. We look forward to learning with you and thank you for your support.

 

Did you know Tanya Veit has several QuickFlix video tutorials that are 10 minutes or less? She covers many popular glass fusing topics in just a few minutes. Sometimes we find ourselves in a creative block and need something to break through. These quick videos will often do that. From drilling holes into glass to using stencils and Bullseye Glass powders, these quick video tutorials will get your ideas flowing again. Here are some of the topics covered.

We have been more or less quarantined for months now. Times are stressful and uncertain for everybody, but for different reasons. In talking to several glass artists over the past few months, I wanted to share what I have gathered in a general sense.

AAE Glass was founded with the idea of giving fused glass artists products and education that were not available before. AAE Glass developed the cutting edge Education Center years ago that hosts both free and paid Masterclass video workshops from fused glass artists around the world.

Hi, I’m Mark Veit. You might remember me from previous marketing articles titled “How to Approach Galleries & Sell Fused Glass” and “Word of Mouth is Worth Thousands of Dollars”.
