LOVE this video!! review by Trish Monteforte on 9/9/2019This is an excellent video! It is well organized, detailed and thorough. Glenda takes you step by step through the process and does not leave any steps out. After watching this video, I was able to make beautiful pieces that people love to see and buy! The video is also conveniently organized into sections so you can easily go back for reference.

Oh the Possibilities! review by Gretchen Mayes on 9/8/2019
After I lost my entire studio to Hurricane Michael last fall, I bought this video hoping I could adapt the process to a very limited working space (my kitchen) and a small Bonnie Glo kiln (13" round shelf)
because I needed to start working and creating to help me move past the devastation. Plus, I loved Glenda's work and wanted so much to create something totally different than I had ever done before. This video not only helped me heal, but I have also discovered a process that has limitless possibilities. I have not only expanded my knowledge base in glass fusing, but I also have created some pretty amazing pieces. Glenda is a natural teacher. Her encouragement to experiment and not to worry if you make a mistake are wonderful words to hear for not only the beginner but the expert as well. I highly recommend purchasing this video as well as her subsequent videos. The technique is unique and it will take your work to the next level! -

Fantastic Tutorial! review by Michaelene on 9/4/2019
Glenda is an excellent teacher. Very calm and extremely creative. I love the fact that I can go back to the video any time to relearn. I have been interested in everything about frit and she is certainly the person to teach it!

Wow! review by Lindsay Blankenship on 1/13/2019
I have admired these coral pieces and wished for a long time that I could make glass art as beautiful as Glenda’s corals. This video has opened up a whole new world of glass art for me! I recommend it to anyone who wants to know how to make these beautiful pieces.

Fascinating process, well presented. review by Kathryn on 1/13/2019
I had long admired Glenda's work, curious how these wonderful pieces were made. Glenda reveals the basic process, in her engaging, down to earth, free-form style. So many possibilities for translating these techniques into my own work, my mind is racing!

Excellent introduction to new ways to use frit powder review by John Havard on 1/13/2019
Simple step-by-step instructions for how to build up and personalize frit fused creations. Well worth the money and a very informative video.

Absolutely amazing! review by Rebekah Spoonhour on 1/13/2019
Such a great and fun way to use all that powdered frit! Very easy to follow and you can take this process into so many different directions. I absolutely love the bowl with all the circles. It almost looks like lace! I would highly recommend this video to any and all levels of fused glass artists.

Beautiful outcome review by Bernadette on 1/13/2019
I bought this course to explore more with powder. Worth every penny I paid. Results were amazing even with my tentative approach. If you want to create something with a wow factor but without a lot of fuss, this is the one for you.

Oh, the Places You'll Go! review by Cheryl on 1/13/2019
Having admired Glenda Kronke's work for eons, I was thrilled to see that she was doing a video with AAE Glass. I have wanted to meet her for ages (and take a class if possible). After seeing the video I feel as though I HAVE met her. Glenda's style is approachable and the included materials are excellent. I will admit to being a bit of a skeptic - I typically travel (often hundreds of miles) for a class, and wasn't sure about this whole online learning idea. I was wrong. The video is fabulous, and I cannot wait to get into my own studio and try the techniques for myself. I look forward to participating in AAE's FB group for the video as well. My head is full of ideas....

I had seen Glenda's work on pinterest and thought " I wonder how she does it". These are so beautiful! Well, I'm so glad I bought the video because I never would have figured it out and now "I" can make those beautiful projects that I used to just ohh and ahh over!

THAT’S how it’s done? Really! review by Kerstin Hilton on 1/8/2019
After admiring Glenda’s work for quite a few years I was so happy to learn she was just sharing the technique. I gave it a whirl, wondering if my first pieces would even come close to what she was showing in the tutorial...and they do!

I loved watching you work. It has given me many ideas. review by Vicki on 12/5/2018
The video is well worth the money, the only thing I found missing and maybe I just haven't found them, but in the video you mentioned with the PDF there would be some patterns for the coral. I would love to receive them if they are available.
