AVAILABLE NOW!
Dream Garden, Volume II: Sea Garden
Online Video Lesson |
|
|
In Volume 2 Nancy takes you through all the steps to create a fantasy underwater garden. In this video lesson students will learn methods of layering imagery through multiple firings while learning processes for creating elements that will be used to create the imagery. Students will learn new techniques not covered in part one as well as learn new variations of some methods contained in part one. Techniques taught include frit making (how and why), crafting pattern sheets with frit and stringer, creating patterned vitrograph stringer, cane and manipulated elements, enameled bits, making torchworked pieces for adding detail to your design as well as strategies for eliminating coldworking and devitrification. Beyond building a sea garden project the lessons taught will open your eyes to methods and techniques that can be applied to a multitude of kiln projects. As an added bonus throughout the lessons you will learn the language of artistry, including topics like color selection, contrast and composition without being overwhelmed by these basic concepts. Nancy will encourage you to trust your instincts, use your curiosity and work in an improvisational way leading you to become a more creative maker.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Nancy Weisser is a Kensington, Maryland- based artist specializing in kiln-formed glass. She owns and operates Weisser Glass Studio. You may see more of her work at nancyweisser.com, or in the gallery at Weisser Glass Studio.
Experimentation is a thread that runs through Nancy’s diverse body of work: “My devotion to discovery is about the pursuit of creating something new and my desire to learn along the way whether it be about material, process, or self. Art making for me is about trusting my instincts, nurturing curiosity and challenging myself even when it’s uncomfortable or difficult.

| Scrubby Soap |
Tired of using harsh soaps and chemicals to remove studio grime and residue from your hands? Having a hard time getting lead off your fingertips after working with came and solder? Scrubby Soap is your answer! |
This wonderful cleaner has fast become a favorite of the Weisser Glass crew and our customers! Formulated from gentle yet effective natural ingredients, the soap is poured around a plastic scrubbie, making it a very efficient dirt remover. The natural citrus oils help dissolve grease, adhesives, and other sticky substances without the use
of harsh chemicals, making it great for cleaning glass and tools as well as hands. The smell is amazing, too! We've also discovered that it's great for removing label residue from bottles that just won't come off by soaking it in water; a much better alternative to acetone or other solvents. Available in Orange, Lemon, or Lemon-Lime.

NOW AVAILABLE as well, Bath and Body Scrubby Soap: take your love of the Scrubby to the shower with you. Goats' milk-infused formula provides great moisture while cleaning thoroughly (and smelling great, of course!). |

The Hand Foiler & The Table Foiler |
Ever wanted to speed up the foiling process on your stained glass projects? Have trouble centering the foil on the edge of your glass pieces, or even seeing well enough to get it lined up properly? Well, have we got some solutions for you! There are a variety of tools on the market to help you with these issues, and the two of the best are the Hand Foiler and the Table Foiler. |
The Glastar Hand Foiler comes in four different sizes to accommodate the four most popular widths of copper foil tape: 1/4", 7/32", 3/16", and 5/32". It allows you to easily apply the foil to the edge of your glass evenly and effortlessly. It's small, hand-held design allows to be used for even small pieces. Glastar also makes a companion crimping tool for smoothing your foil once it's applied.
|
 |
| The Table Foiler is an excellent tool for foiling medium and larger pieces. It will accommodate three different sizes of foil- 1/4", 7/32", and 3/16". Once you set the centering, you can foil quickly and easily! |
| Its easy-to-use design is quick to set up, requires very little adjustment once set, and will even crimp the foil down some for you, drastically reducing the amount of hand labor required. |
| Come by and test them for yourself! |

The Mosaic Cutter & The Cane Nipper |
Sometimes you don't need precisely cut pieces of glass, you just need a lot of chips. Want to roughly shape a piece of glass, without having to take it to a grinder or use your breaking pliers? You can't cut that rod or cane easily with a hand cutter, so what do you do? Your solution: handy-dandy nippers!
Available in two styles- round wheeled for sheet glass and flat jawed for canes and rod- they make chopping tons of pieces quick and easy. While neither of these tools are designed for highly precisioned cutting, they make short work of small pieces. They're also a brilliant solution for creating beautiful, random shapes for flowers, organic designs, and backgrounds. |
 |
Use the wheeled nipper to chop up strips of sheet glass for squarish shapes, or take directly off the sheet for more crescent shaped chips.
They're awesome for stained glass artists as well; when you're cutting small pieces, use the nipper to trim down your excess glass to make quick work of your final pattern cutting and grinding (invaluable for Tiffany-style work) |
Our new cane nippers are ideal for cutting slices off rods and small murrini bars; their flat jaw shape allows for even cutting of thin and thick slices.
Chop your murrines and cane to reveal the beautiful patterns inside, chop rod to create polka dots and circles, or get that crisp rod design on your piece. |
 |
|
Come by the shop and try them out!

The Morton Layout Rail System |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE: 6" Rails set
(not pictured)
|
|
Whether you're a stained glass artist or a fuser, one of the biggest challenges you can face is keeping all your pieces in place while assembling and constructing a project. If your pieces are sliding around, you can't get accurate fit and measurements, and you always run the risk of a piece slipping off the table and breaking.
The Morton Rail System, combined with a simple homasote workboard, can solve your problems! The pre-punched aluminum rails come in a variety of sets, and several different lengths. |
 |
A copper foil panel by Weisser student Elizabeth McQuade, fitting snugly in the rails and waiting to be soldered.
|
|
 |
| A fused pattern bar tile under construction, held in place with rails. HINT: Place a sheet of clear plastic between your piece and the homasote if you're coldworking to keep your board dry! |
|
Simply use the included pushpins to hold the rails securely in place on your homasote board, and it creates a lightweight, effective barrier to hold flat pieces securely in place while working. Aluminum composition makes it easy to solder your stained glass piece without sticking to the rails, and the pushpins allow you to switch placement quickly and easily by hand. When finished, clean up is a breeze; just wipe down with a sponge or green scrubby pad and they're all ready to go for the next project!
Morton Layout Add-On Rails are available in variety of sets and sizes. Homasote workboards are available in a 16" x 24" size. Pick yours up today!
PLEASE NOTE: the rails should not be used with plywood workboards, as the pushpins will get stuck! |
| BACK IN STOCK- Dichroic Frit Flakes!
In stock again after a long hiatus, these delicate dichro bits are the perfect accent for your fused pieces. Sprinkle on a little for a subtle shine or throw it on for a skyful of stars! Also perfect for putting in Glaskolben ornaments. All 90 COE.

NEW for Spring 2018!
Introducing you to tools, tips, and tricks that you might not know about! |
The Carborundum Stone
The carborundum stone is a very basic, inexpensive, and easy-to-use tool, and is indispensable for any size glass studio. While it is not designed for fine shaping of your glass pieces, just swipe it across the edge of the glass and it will knock down any nasty flares with no fuss. Secure one to your work table and it creates an awesome, one-handed quickie flare remover! The stone is especially useful when cutting textured glass and thicker glasses like 4 mil and 6 mil tekta that tend to flare. Fewer flares means fewer cuts! |
 |
 |
Colleen uses a carborundum stone to quickly smooth a sharp flare on the edge of a
piece of glass before putting it out in stock. |
Using our special one-handed technique to clean up a corner! |

November 8 through
December 20, 2015
Opening Reception:
Sunday, November 8, 2-4pm |
Silvermine's exhibition of contemporary glass art will show both the wide range of what is being done today by glass artists, and what glass as a material can do. Glass has magical properties- it reflects, refracts, holds light, and lets light through. As an artist's material, it can be versatile, wildly colorful, smooth or rough, transparent or opaque. The artists represented in this exhibition include casters, kiln workers, glass blowers, stained-glass artists, and flameworkers.
Other artists featured in the exhibit include: Jane Bruce, Moshe Bursuker, Susan Cox, Susan Taylor Glasgow, Dorothy Hafner, Michael Janis, Marty Kremer, Christopher Lydon, Martie Negri, Nancy Nicholson, Alyssa Oxley, and Paul Stankard.

Weisser Gallery welcomes
KeKe Cribbs
An artist’s talk:
La Vie en Rose
Tuesday, April 1, 2014
Doors open at 6:30 PM, talk begins at 7:00 PM |
 |
Join us for an evening with renowned glass and multi-media artist KeKe Cribbs, as she discusses her life, her influences, and her thirty-five year career of creating. “The talk is basically a chronological walk through my life, starting with family pictures and moving through a professional career that began with a one person show in 1980.”
Beginning with her early sandblasted and engraved glass pieces which incorporated carved and painted wood, the art of KeKe Cribbs has been profoundly influenced by the places she has lived. Her love ofthe highly crafted works of antiquity shows in the way she handles her materials; from her blown glass figures with powder pickups, ceramic and glass mosaic figures, to her current body of work featuring reverse-fired enamels on glass that become sculptural mosaic boats. Her slide lecture is a travel log of a life well-lived.
The beauty and serenity of the desert lands of the Southwest- which have deep cultural roots for her- have informed her art, alongside the experiences of living in old European villages with winding cobble streets, heavy iron locks and hinges on old wooden doors. There is a sense of mystery and adventure sewn with magic in her work; new lands and old stories.
This event is free, but registration is required.
You may RSVP to Weisser Gallery at 301-571-8966 or info@weisserglass.com |

Smithsonian Associates Tour Visits Weisser Glass!
 |
We had the pleasure Saturday, July 13 and Sunday, July 14 of welcoming two tour groups from the Smithsonian Associates to Weisser Glass Studio and Gallery.
A total of 80 attendees in the groups were visiting the studios of glass artists in the Washington, DC area. After visiting the Gallery and learning about the Weisser Glass history, visitors were treated to a demonstration of vitrograph stringer pulling, as well as one of hot glass sculpting as Nancy Weisser demonstrated how she creates glass flowers for her installation work. Other demonstrations for the two groups included glass cutting and powdered portraits.
Attendees were also able to view many examples of finished artworks in Weisser Gallery, including Nancy Weisser's installation work Her Labor of Love, as well as a number of vessels held over from our Transform show. They were wonderful, inquisitive, enthusiastic groups, and we probably have more than one budding glass artist in the bunch! |
Transform show at the Weisser Gallery receives rave reviews!
The variety and quality of the work presented was breathtaking, and it was wonderful to see so many different interpretations of the singular vessel form.
A total of four vessels sold during the course of the show including the vessel Chesapeake Wild, generously donated by Joan Slettvet to raise money for So Others May Eat. We are pleased to announce that the silent auction held for Chesapeake Wild raised $400.00 for S.O.M.E.! If you didn't have a chance to see this wonderful show while it was up, you can still see a select group of the vessels held over here at Weisser Gallery.
Students interested in learning how to create the deep formed vessel should contact Nancy or Sharon at the store to learn about classes currently being offered. |

Gallery talk with woven glass 
artists Markow & Norris
When Eric Markow and Thom Norris took their first fusing class at the Weisser Studio few could have predicted how they would soon take the art world by storm! Their stunning works of woven glass are in private collections and galleries around the world, and they have been featured in countless magazines, as well as on the CBS News show Sunday Morning. For the past four years, they have been working on a series of four life-sized woven glass kimonos representing the seasons, the first of which debuted at their solo show at Weisser Gallery in 2009. Their third kimono will be unveiled at the November 2012 SOFA exhibit in Chicago. Find out what make these partners tick, what inspires them, and view images of their work at this presentation. www.wovenglass.com
