25.01.2022 Well.. we weren't expecting that. Many of you will have recieved an email from Uroboros this morning, announcing that they too are going out of business. You can find the full details here: http://www.uroboros.com/announcements.php?id=56 We are saddened by the news, and our thoughts go out to Eric and their entire Uroboros Glass team.... We hope they can find a willing buyer, we would miss their colour depth and patterns greatly if they can't. As importantly we will miss working with their fantastic team, from the glass makers through to the admin staff; We have never had anything less than an amazing experience dealing with Uroboros... to top it off, we just love their glass. Our stocking level for Uroboros sheet glass is as high as we could make it, most glasses will be on our shelves for the next 2-3 years, and stringers/noodles and rods we currently hold (or have on the way) 2 years worth. The upshot is that we have stock enough on hand to give the industry time to recover. Once again in mourning... Ashley and Bec Glassfusing.com.au

24.01.2022 Hi Folks! The newsletter is running a couple of days late.. we are hanging out for the shipment to arrive so that we can announce all the exciting new stuff immediately instead of waiting for a month. To help make our lives miserable our hosting company migrated our website today just after 2pm, and it is finally back online properly again, after only two complaint calls. Unfortunately we have not received any emails since 2pm, so if you have tried to get in touch this aftern...oon, your email has become a sacrifice to the internet gods, please send it through again. Sorry about the hassle, and if anyone was having trouble getting onto the website today.. at least we all now know why. We'll get the newsletter out this week either way, but hopefully we will have new items, new glasses and a whole new glass supplier to announce. Thanks for reading Ashley and Bec

21.01.2022 Wow, what a Wednesday. Due to circumstances beyond our control we had to update the website back-end infrastructure this afternoon. This usually happens around once a year, and we plan it carefully for around 2 weeks, and build a full test website to make sure it runs smoothly when we do the actual upgrade. Today, we planned for 30 seconds, and updated the live website. Hence we were offline for a few hours this afternoon/evening. We have tested it as best we can (both Bec an...d I are currently sick), but if you do see something that isn't right, please let us know and we will fix it up. Sorry about the lack of notice, but our ISP suggested we upgrade immediately to close a potential vulnerbility. Positive news; Our latest, and biggest ever, shipment will be in Canberra on Friday, all the glasses and accessories we are currently sold out of will be back in stock by Monday. Ashley and Bec

09.01.2022 Hi folks, Just a very quick update; http://spectrumglass.com/ is worth taking a look at today, they have been purchased in their entirety by another company, and will now be produced in Mexico. The current owners and some staff will be training them on production for a few months and then we expect Spectrum glass to be as avaliable as it always has been. We have another 12000ish square feet on the way at the moment, which will give us two years worth of stock on hand of the A...merican made glass. We are fully confident that there will be no interruption of supply that anyone of our customers will notice. Uroboros also made an announcement today : http://www.uroboros.com/announcements.php?id=55 They will also hopefully be fully back online early next year, but we currently have around 12 months worth of their glass on the shelves... so again, there should be no interruption to supply. Now were are off to continue our honeymoon. Thanks for your support Ashley and Bec

05.01.2022 Howdy Folks, Just two quick notices before we relax for the evening: The calander competition closes tonight at midnight..ish. We'll start the judging process tomorrow night, so if you are running late with an entry please try to get it in before then... a quick reminder of the rules and regulations: Everyone who enters the competition will receive a calendar even if their work is not selected for inclusion.... Everyone who enters will have a photo of their work published in a special gallery of the glassfusing.com.au website, for all the world to see and admire. Everyone whose work is included in the calendar will also receive a prize directly from us, you too can look (almost) as good as Bec does in her Glassfusing Polo shirt, or far better than Ashley looks in his. There will also be a special prize for the People’s Choice (when the entries are posted on the website there will be a voting system) This year calendars will also be available for sale, at whatever the cost of printing is. We do not make money from the competition (quite the opposite actually), and will not seek to profit from your images. What are the rules? The work must be fused/slumped/cast/draped/melt.. it must be a piece of art glass You must have made the work yourself. No pieces made during courses or formal workshops are allowed. You must be ok with us putting a watermark on your work for the website gallery and for the calendar, we put it somewhere out of the way, but it is there. A maximum of two entries per person is allowed. By entering the competition, you agree to having the photo displayed in the published calendar, on the Glassfusing.com.au website and those of our suppliers. Any published photos will be attributed to you by name. You need to submit an image suitable for printing (minimum 300 dpi) for consideration. Nice lightning helps, as does a clean background. The pieces will be judged solely on the basis of the submitted photo. There is no cash value or advantage to entering the competition. It is simply for fun and of course, if successful, gives you bragging rights with your relatives and friends. The judges' decision will be final, even if they display a total lack of understanding, reasonableness or logic. This year the judging panel will consist of an expert panel of glass artists.. well, a panel of glass artists well, the Glassfusing.com.au team. If you would like to enter the competition, please send the images of your glass and associated information to [email protected] by 11:59pm on Monday the 31st of OCTOBER. Phew.. sorry for the wall of text. And Lastly; We are having a sale to celebrate having run Glassfusing.com.au for 2 years, which starts tomorrow and will run for a week. Mainly glass accessories and accessory glass will be on sale. Thanks for reading, this was a lot longer than our normal posts. Ashley and Bec Glassfusing.com.au
