Glassic Arts Stained Glass Newsletter January 2oo9
Dear Valued Customer,      Happy New Year! Last year is just a memory, and we have great hopes for the next.  It's time for a new perspective on your glass skills.  Instead of an expensive hobby why not think of it as a way to earn an extra income.  Use your talents to create works to sell at craft shows or home parties.  We have a great line up of new classes to help stimulate ideas.  Stained glass and fused glass is also a great stress reliever.  Distract yourself with a new art glass project.   Please take a moment to see what we have to offer by going to my calendar page at www.Glassicarts.net.   It's time to dust off the glass tools and join us as we explore new glass projects.    January always brings the need to clean and move out old inventory to make room for new items. We are marking down books and bevels this month.  Be sure to check out what's on sale at the bottom of this page.  Now is a great time to stock up for future projects.     If you haven't been in the shop for awhile you will be suprised at the changes.  We have reduced our size of the retail store but have built a large studio just a few miles away from the shop.  Large classes and classes taught by outside instructors will be held there.  All other classes will remain at the shop.  We started Glassic Arts 18 years ago in the same location.  In these uncertain times we will do what ever possible to insure we are here to provide you with your stained glass needs. We hope to see you in the shop soon.
