Working on getting the perfect frit leaf using
No Days Liquid Fusing Adhesive.

 Carrie showed students how to use No Days Groutless Mosaic Adhesive to create simple glass on glass (GOG) mosaics, how to layer dichroic glass to create depth and interest in fused glass jewelry (using HoneyDoo Zuper Glue), how simple it can be to work with frit using No Days Liquid Fusing Adhesive, and how to use all the scraps in your studio to make fused glass mosaics with No Days Thinfuse.

Such a sweet Anniversary celebration;
husband and wife team collaboration in No Days Doodle Plates.

No Days Road Show ~ AAE Glass, Cape Coral, Florida

No Days visited AAE Glass, a premier glass fusing center with over 3,000 square feet of studio space in Cape Coral, Florida. In addition to being a Bullseye Resource Center, the outstanding coldworking facilities include a sandblasting cabinet, glass saws, 12" lap wheels, and of course grinders. And that's on top of lots and lots of kiln space!

AAE Glass offers classes and workshops as well as open studio rental time.

Need frit?

No Days Instructor Carrie Strope was the visiting instructor and taught two different fused glass classes:

Fused glass mosaics and frit painted pieces

No Days fused glass mosaics using No Days Thinfuse to create a textural fused glass mosaic with Tekta, fusible glass scraps, frits, stringers, and rods.

No Days Thinfuse Mosaic

Frit painting with No Days Liquid Fusing Adhesive to create detailed frit designs.

If you missed this road show, keep your eyes open for an upcoming Saturday Video where Tanya will be showing you her take on creating the No Days way!

Some of the advantages of No Days Liquid Fusing Adhesive over hairspray or other glues include: a stronger bond, immediately tacky, strong hold with fine frits, and it doesn't obscure or erase unfired painted designs with unique glass colors or glassline paints.

Securing the "frout" (frit/grout) with No Days Liquid Fusing Adhesive

Some of the advantages of No Days Thinfuse over hairspray or liquid glues: instant faux tack fuse, no glass movement so you can work quickly to finish a project in one sitting, and easily transport your project with no worries of pieces moving.

No Days Road Show ~ Shannon's Stained Glassery - Superior, Wisconsin

Check out all the fun we had at our No Days Road Show May 16th & 17th, 2014 at Shannon's Stained Glassery in Superior, Wisconsin (across the bridge from Duluth, Minnesota).

Frit Painting with No Days Liquid Fusing Adhesive

We had a weekend full of fun with classes in frit painting with No Days Liquid Fusing Adhesive and Glassline paints, glueFOIL mosaic picture frames, No Days Groutless Mosaic Picture Frames, &  No Days Mosaic Mesh Backsplash.

In addition to classes, No Days Instructor Carrie Strope Sohayda demonstrated how to use No Days Thinfuse to create quick and easy fused glass mosaics, as well as how to create quick and stunning jewelry pieces using No Days Groutless, millefiori, dichroic glass or frit balls.

Jackie Doehling of Full Moon Loon Designs playing with frit and No Days

 Jackie Doehling of Full Moon Loon Designs drove up to Superior for a weekend vacation with her husband. Although her husband decided to play elsewhere, she was able to coax her friend Mary in for a glass play session!

Gretchen got the chance to take the classes so she'll know
how to teach with and use No Days!

 Some of you may recognize the shop as Peachie's Stained Glass. Peachie retired from running the shop and sold the business to a wonderfully energetic and incredibly helpful new owner, Shannon. Gretchen is still around to help with questions and projects, and Peachie still teaches some of the classes.

No Days Groutless Mosaic with frit, too!

 The amount of information available at the shop is incredibly, as is the list of classes, which prints out to a staggering 7 pages!

 The pricing for classes is very reasonable and the location of the shop at the edge of Lake Superior makes it a great destination stop, especially if you're traveling the Superior Lake Circle Tour.

Awww...feeling the love! And, I finally get to see a demo
piece completed!

Getting started on glueFOIL mosaics...One of my favorite things
about classes is seeing all of the different ideas and designs that
everyone comes up with. Everyone's got such a unique style!

We're using ceiling tiles to heat on, which fume a bit (hence the mask in the middle).
The No Days doesn't fume or off-gas. It's non-toxic!

Our No Days Road Show was a full day of mosaics, fusing and jewelry. The first class was jam packed with folks making micro mosaic jewelry using No Days Groutless Mosaic Adhesive, bezel pendants, resin, frit, millefiori, mica and itty bitty bits of stained glass.

The Vinery Stained Glass Shop Road Show ~ Madison, WI

Denny gave me a quick tour of his new location.
He's got this Saguaro skeleton that's been with him for years.

Denny's new location is HUGE! He's been there for 6 months and it still smells brand new. He's got tons of glass on display, as well as finished projects. I got the grand tour as soon as I arrived.

Next to the front door of the store

There's plenty of room to walk around and everywhere you look there's eye candy. The store is divided into areas for make and take fused glass pendants, lampworking, stained glass, mosaic and fused glass classes.

He's also got his very first stained glass piece that he made by teaching himself
from a book when he was 24...just a few years ago. He's also got his very own Peter McGrain portrait looking over his precious.

Denny planned a full day with his Customer Appreciation Event occurring at the same time as the No days Road Show. The first 150 customers through the door got swag bags. There was a full demo schedule for glass cutting, the Morton System, bottle cutters, flameworking, foil repair, fusing ideas, programming your kiln, and of course, No Days adhesives!

No Days Road Show - Allen Kenoyer Glass

No Days Instructor, Brenda Smith, recently visited Allen Kenoyer Glass for a No Days Road Show and this is what she had to say...

Brenda's Homecoming visit to Allen Kenoyer Glass

 "Allen Kenoyer Glass in Lawndale, CA was where I took my first glass class 10 years ago.  Being able to return to demonstrate Streuter Technologies Products  was very exciting for me,  going full circle and to get to see Lisa again!"

No Days Groutless Mosaics and tropical island treats

"The store has not changed in size from my first lead glass class, but now offers fusing classes, too.  The shop may be small but the potential to learn is huge; it is full of inspiring masterpieces in glass, so much so you will want to make them all!"

No Days Road Show ~ Detailed Stained Glass, Concord, NH

Landing in Boston...

Welcome to Detailed Stained Glass in Concord, New Hampshire!

Great ornament display!

Owner Anette invited me to come visit her newly located shop and set up for a No Days Road Show. It's always a delight for me to visit new-to-me stained glass studios because I get to see the different offerings of each shop as well as pick up on new ideas for my next projects!

Norwood Custom Glass specializes in creating custom stained glass windows,
etching, carving and beveling glass (including mirror), and fused and painted glass.

This is Norwood Custom Glass, located just on the North side of Cincinnati, Ohio. I absolutely love the Art Deco styling of the building. I visited Norwood Custom Glass in June for a No Days Road Show and was amazed by the studio set-up. There's such a large inventory of glass, patterns, tools and materials!
