ucson tained lass Newsletter APRIL-MAY-JUNE - 2015 4444 E. Grant Rd #107, Tucson Az. 85712 520.745.8844 Email: tucstainedglass@aol.com Website: tucsonstainedglass.com Store Hours M – F 10am – 5pm Sat 10am – 3pm Never on Sunday Thursday, Friday, Saturday April 2nd, 3rd & 4th April 30th, May 1st & 2nd June 4th, 5th & 6th Cash/Check/Debit 20% off Credit Card 15% off No Further Discount N.F.D These are the BIG days!!! As you will notice “Sale Days” are held as close to the 1st weekend in a new month. For 3 days only! Daily discount information posted in the store. Here we are welcoming the second quarter of the New Year already! Spectrum Glass has certainly been busy kicking out more of the Fusers’ Reserve, with Vanilla Cream and the most awesome Shimmering Peacock w/ Blue Aventurine & White Swirls! More of both coming in time for this month’s Sale Day’s! You will notice, I hope; that we have added a lot of NEW classes and/ or revamped a couple. We a pleased to announce that Israel, with his Phrequeing Glass will be teaching three NEW classes this quarter. His work is over the top, with an extreme creative flair. Many of you saw his art here during the Holiday Bazaar. Due to many requests, he caved under pressure and is going to share his talent! It seems the Newsletter is still undergoing some changes. It really is better to see “Highlights” of upcoming classes, as the page count was getting more than a bit bazaar. There will be links to the website and to the “Class” tab on the website. It should make zeroing in on what you’re looking for with all the juicy tidbits easier to find. So, you know how I/we like to shake things up a bit a few times during the year, right? It’s seems that more often than not, the “Important” details, rules or particulars somehow magically disappear from the Newsletter. I even print out a few extra copies to hand out for those not on the email, etc. and I am most certain that it says what I want it to say, especially when it involves our “Almost Famous – She’s Lost Her Mind – 30% OFF- CASH SALES”! So, I am going to torture you all sometime in the not so distant future, with such a sale, but it will be like a game ie: like “Where’s Waldo”! I’m going to embed key words throughout that newsletter and I will know, that you know, what there is to know! You never know when it might happen. Could it be this one? Maybe! Or maybe not! The heading at the top WILL remain the same regarding the Sale Day Discounts. I told you, torture would be involved! It will be good for your brain as well! BEWARE!! There have been a few more NEW CLASSES added, with a few more in the works. Be sure to check website for more details and full descriptions! The newsletter was getting very congested, plus, any classes that are new or have updated schedules will have the dates & times in RED!! ALSO, UNFORTUNATELY, I have to start a 50% deposit on classes when you sign up. UNLESS there is a SERIOUS issue that prevents you from coming, there will be no refunds, the deposit can be held towards another class or store credit. I make “reminder” calls as a courtesy and that’s all. Most of you have met “Candie”, our Beagle puppy. IF, for some reason, you find her pesky or are allergic, let me know and I will square her away. She has an emergency “Doggie Jail” for such occasions or when it gets extremely busy. She is a very sweet puppy and has had all of her shots! I’ve had problems with two people kicking at her and they were NOT our customers. This update has some NEW classes listed, so be sure to read about them and reserve your space. Please arrive on time, ready to work and with tools you need. Some classes have a “kit fee”, which means you will be supplied with certain supplies to complete your project. Some classes do not have a kit fee, which means you should have or get what you need to complete your projects. TSG Shop Supplies are just that! (P.S. closed toed shoes are a must!) Cell phones should be off (or on vibrate, for that extra special moment). As a courtesy to our instructors and fellow students, please limit your visiting during class time. Classes for April – May – June - 2015 Check out our web site for complete class descriptions. www.tucsonstainedglass.com ***FREE Glass Cutting Class*** - 1 – Two Hour Session May 23rd 11 am – 1 pm This is a Saturday classes!
