Wow, not only was today a crazy busy day, but the entire weekend was crazy busy too! Which makes me a very happy camper. I don't know how most of you feel, but I love it when everyone comes into the studio and has a good time, tells me what a good time they are a) having, b) had, or c) want to come have again! It makes me feel like that idea I had in my head two years ago was a good one and makes me thankful that I opened right here in Damascus for my first studio.
I would love to move forward and open another, but for now I'm satisfied working this one and continuing to evolve it into a super fun place for everyone.
In case you haven't been around since last year here's a few 2009/2010 updates...
- The party room is now downstairs and the room is huge! In January 2009 we made a few changes to the downstairs area and we have seating for up to 32 painters, with room for non-painters as well.
- Glass fusing has truly taken off! You no longer need an appointment - just walk in and get a quick orientation. That's it -- within 5-10 minutes we can show you the options available, tell you about the pricing, teach you to score and break the glass and tell you about slumping options. You should try it if you haven't already.
- We added lots and lots of classes for both kids and adults.
* Jewelry creation with Karen Wagner, Beader Extraordinaire!
* Crochet classes taught by Moi from beginning to expert, to pattern troubleshooter!
* Acrylics on Canvas now taught by Moi!
* Glass and ceramic jewelry classes too!
Now in 2010 we have more great plans for you to enjoy...
- Hot Glass Lampworking - both classes and torch time rental (as well as kiln rental)
- Jewelry Kiosk by www.BeadMeAStory.com. My good friend, Mary Soucy, created (yes, created!) her very own unique bead out of various polymers that is eclectic and colorful, and a fashionable design statement. We will be selling both jewelry kits as well as individual components. The kiosk is already in place, we're just waiting for the shipment of beads and kits to arrive. Visit Mary's website to check out the cool things she does!
- Jewelry Birthday Parties for the older girls! As soon as the kiosk is complete we'll be offering jewelry making as a birthday party option. Details will be coming as soon as we get everything in place.

- Silver Clay jewelry -- just like a polymer clay, you work your clay and shape it into pendants, cabochons and rings and when fired the polymer burns away leaving 99.9% pure silver! I can't wait to try this one - thanks Sarah! It's all your fault...I think we're going to try this in the next week or so, but first we're moving my office downstairs to make room for the lampworking studio.
- Wet Clay Birthday Parties! This may not begin until Fall this year, but we will be pulling out our slab roller and using it creatively with the kids. Wet clay is just too much fun to only have out for summer camp - so we're going to figure out a good way to make it work on a walk-in basis too.
- And lastly, we are talking about both morning and afternoon art classes for all ages for those working parents. More information to come in February for those interested in this full-day option.
Here's to another creative year of GETTING FIRED at FireWorks Art Cafe! See you soon.
