Tis the season for making. So when I came across Glas Art Studio Las Vegas and saw that they were…read moreoffering a fused glass ornament workshop, it was pretty much a no brainer. I had done a fused glass class at a different studio before. That was fun so I thought I'd give it a go. And the course description advertised ornaments, as in plural. Hello, Christmas gifts (sssshhhh, don't tell my family). The workshop was held today (early December) at 9:00 AM. There were only 4 5 of us for this deal. Me and 5 strangers. 3 others were not able to make it. Fine by me. It was less crowded. It was easier for all of us to ask questions. It was said that this was a workshop and not a class. The distinction being that we were given some tip and tricks and shown some examples of what we could do. Then it was essentially a free for all. The group did vote to start with a Christmas tree. From there we each went out own way. I started with cutting bits and shards of green glass. Two different shades. From there it was as simple as layering more glass on top so that when everything is put in the kiln it all melts down and holds everything together. I spent a fair bit of time on that tree. It took a lot of pieces. For my next ornaments I chose to do a wreath, a snowman and another wreath. 4 projects in all. At the time of this writing, I am happy with what I added to the kiln. I have yet to see the final results, though. The firing and tempering will take a little while. I'll have to go back and pick them up in a few days. Pictures and final thoughts will follow. For now, I can say this was a pleasent experience. I had fun, made some gifts (fingers crossed) and met some cool new people. We laughed. We sang. We made stuff. A couple of critical thoughts, the course description on the website was very vague. I received an email receipt when I bought my spot in this workshop but there was nothing by way of final confirmation or final instructions. Those would have been helpful. But this is a small shop with what I assume is a small staff. I imagine they can't do it all. They do what they do and they do it well.

My parents used to have to drag me away crying from the one inside Cinderella's Castle at Disneyland. Let me say from the outset that I'm as creative as a mummified ostrich. My wife, however, knowing my love of this art scheduled me for a class for my birthday. For the first time in our relationship, she completely surprised me with this. Robert, the instructor, has created delicate pieces for English royalty. Some of his pieces are on display in the shop. It was quite a shock when he told me I could eventually create such beauty, but it would be necessary for me to start small. He showed me how to make leaves, then the body of a swan. He said I'd be making the leaves today and the swan next time. I was actually able to make two fairly respectful leaves all by myself. Robert is a great instructor, and this was one of the greatest presents I'd ever been given. I will definitely be returning for further lessons.

I went to the website and saw that they had a free day ( first Sat of the month) This museum was built in 2002 and is like a large gallery named for the solo artist Rita Deanin Abbey. What a versatile talented artist. She covers a multiple of mediums from sculpture, fiber glass, resin, paint and vivid colors to express herself. The space is modern, clean and the workers are very knowledgeable about Rita's work. We were told the museum is also used as an event space hosting weddings, bar mitzvah and other social events. It snuggled in a residential area so use your gps. Definetly worth a look to see her gorgeous display of art. An hour or so is the time needed to explore this museum.

The museum, which opened in 2022, honors Rita Deanin Abbey and presents a large selection of her art. Rita was an art professor at UNLV for over 20 years before retiring and devoted all her time to create art. On this property, it initially contained her home, art studio and sculpture garden before Rita and her husband built the 10,500 sq ft museum. Rita is known for her abstract expressionism, figures, landscapes, and non-objective subject matter that is expressed through paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, porcelain enamel fired on steel, stained glass and computer art. A docent gave us a tour of facility and sculpture garden. But we were the only ones in the museum so we able to enjoy the peacefulness and admire and be mesmerized by the artwork. If you enjoy art, a visit to this fabulous museum is a must visit if you're visiting Vegas.

They also resized it for me for free before I left the store, which made the whole experience even better. This will be my go-to spot from now on.
