Merry Christmas! We trust Santa brought lots of stained glass related presents to all of the good little boys and girls out there in our winter wonderland called Ottawa. We will be open our regular store hours the week between Christmas and New Years', the 27th to the 30th. On December 31st, we will be closing at 3:00pm.
Our Christmas Sale is still in effect until the end of the year, so if you have this week off, before New Years' Eve, come in to check out the new stuff and take advantage of all the great deals.
Our winter classes are about to resume. Our Painting 101 Class will be next weekend, January 7th and 8th. There are only a couple of spots left, so don't delay! We only offer this course once a year. Our beginner classes start the first week of January. The Tuesday class is already full, there are a few spots left in the Monday class.
Our next Fusing 101 class will be on Saturday, January 28th and February 4th, from 1pm to 4pm. The next Friday Night Fusing Clinic will be on January 13th at 7pm, and the topic will be how to incorporate Lava Cloth and various fibre papers as a base design factor, underneath your fused glass project.
Our "Guess How Many Jelly-Beans are in the Jar" contest has a winner! Mrs. Anna S. won 630 jellybeans and a $100 Stained Glass Stuff Gift Certificate. Her guess was the closest at 621, off by only 9! The highest guess was 2400, and the lowest was 206. Congratulations! Enjoy the jelly beans!
