Introducing... drumroll please... GENIE!!!!

We can't promise magic carpets or a palace overlooking Agrabah, but we can promise plenty of sparkle.

Step into a whole new world with this one, but like any great treasure, supplies are extremely limited and we expect this to sell out quickly.

Wait… Liz B. is an entrepreneur, too?! 👀

When Liz B. first pitched us the idea for an Artisan Fair, she told us, “Our customers are some of the most talented artists around - and they make so much more than just glass!”

Well… we quickly discovered that Liz B. belongs on that list, too!

Our very own Liz B. will have her own booth at the Artisan Fair, featuring upcycled creations made from reclaimed materials. We’re so excited to see what she brings - and even more excited to celebrate the creativity and talent within our Stained Glass Express community!

📅 Save the date!
Come support Liz and all of the incredible local artists and makers joining us for this special event.

Glass is just the beginning! ✨

🎃 THE HALLOWEEN DISPLAY IS OFFICIALLY UP! 👻

And apparently, Janet and Wanda decided that wasn’t enough… they needed a victim.

They conspired against me and declared that my outfit “fit the display” and that a picture was absolutely necessary. So, naturally, I tried my best to look creepy and intimidating. 😈

It was going great… until Wanda made me laugh. 🙄

So here we are. I guess I’m officially part of the Halloween display now. All I need is a witch hat, a broom, and maybe a little more practice with my evil stare. 👀

Come check out our spooky new display... you'll go batty for it!

Welcome September!
This month's glass sale theme is "Whispers of Autumn."
Here in Maine, the nights are starting to get cooler and you might spy a red leaf here and there, but some of us (ME!) consider this the best part of Summer!
When will it be Fall for you?

Remember that beautiful tree from our Down East Adventure class? If you've been wondering how we created the texture on the tree trunk, the answer is copper foil sheet! We cut the shape of the trunk from scrap glass, wrinkled up a piece of foil sheet a little bigger than it, and wrapped it completely. The wrinkles get even wrinklier as you burnish; then just tin over the copper and the wrinkles are immortalized as textured metal!
Also shown is our Pinecone Panel that uses the foil sheet to create detailed outlines on the pinecones. You could cut lettering this way to apply to a stained glass piece! Best practice is to anchor the foil sheet letters to a solder joint somewhere.
Copper sheet is 25% off until Monday night; how would you use it on a project?

NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S SCALLOPED FOIL
Listen. We know. The temptation is to dismiss scalloped foil as something that belongs in the back of the drawer with the floppy lace doilies grammy crocheted in the 80s.
Fight. That. Temptation. Please.
Just look at Stacey Carson's lampshade up close, and behold! It IS possible to bring cozy vintage into the 21st century.
Is it a little spendy? Yes. Is it worth it? YES. It's also ON SALE through the end of August: 25% off and worth the splurge.https://www.stainedglassexpress.com/products/foil-scalloped-black-back-5-16-1-25-mil
