It’s a new week of shutdown, and things have quieted down in the Village. We are still available by phone, text, or email for your glass needs to keep your place safe and usable. We appreciate the people of Carlsbad working to stay safe, and there is hope on the horizon.

In the mean time, we are reorganizing the Shoppe (many things went to our lovely Bend, Oregon expansion which we talk about last week - found at https://www.instagram.com/stainedglassoverlaybend/ ) We will have different working spaces and storage which will keep our flow going when things open up again!

New Glass Fact: Glue Chip glass is made with a strong hide glue. The glue is mixed with water, warmed, and added to the surface of the glass. As it dries, it forms this unique, organic pattern that actually pulls up the surface of the glass, leaving the classic glue chip pattern. This is one of our many art glasses available (more can be seen by clicking here), that provides some privacy and obscurity to the outside.

See how Glue Chip glass obscures the outside view.

We were so happy with the response to our commercial; thanks to all our fans!

It’s been a bit of a warm week, but we still see our neighbors enjoying the village safely.

It’s been a pleasure to help our clients at the shop restoring heirlooms, revitalizing bathrooms, and improving windows. We have more glass repairs coming in with wonderful stained glass lampshades, cabinet doors, and mirrors.

Speaking of mirrors, if you are looking for a safer option, we can add a backing called CAT II. This backing is extra insurance for the possibility of a mirror falling and breaking. While it most likely will not prevent the break, it will keep the often dangerous shards from falling apart and to the floor. It’s a useful feature and perfect if pets and young children will be around!

The Shoppe also has more stained glass squares to cut for our glass blowing friends! You can check out their website at https://www.barrioglassworks.com/

Everyone at the Shoppe is excited for more local artists, we cannot wait until Barrio Glassworks is open!

With that, have a great weekend everyone!
