Sad Times for our industry...

Ok..this month of April has been an awakening for some in our industry and for others rumours of the last few years came to fruition...  Our last major wholesaler in Ontario filed for bankruptcy.  To me it is a sad event as truthfully this will affect us all.. even those of us who do the majority of our purchasing in the States. This is not the time to let a lack of professionalism take over.. the loss of this supplier results in the loss of one level of purchasing. It will affect all of us from the professional studio owner to the hobbyist who simply enjoy their GLASS TIME..

On a happier note...I think Spring is here.. construction is definitely in full swing and there are a lot of great things shaping up for the rest of 2013 at my studio.  And the new studio space is finally starting to take shape. The sprinklers were raised up to 30 feet on Friday so that we can raise the ceiling in the work space...I am thinking glass studio in the lower section with my fancy heavy wood trim casing around glass panels, windows and the door jambs...but industrial look above ..I think if will be cool.. :) I want to suspend some of the glass light fixtures we have been working on..  of course some ceiling panels...

Last week I enjoyed a great day out with  photographer Dean Carvey. We snapped some great shots of previous sites.. for Toronto Home Magazine.  ENJOY..... I AM!
