Igniting Creativity During the In-Between Time at Blazing Star Arts

At Blazing Star Arts, the weeks between shows are not just breaks; they are vibrant opportunities for creativity and innovation. These periods allow us to breathe life into new ideas, take on custom orders, and truly enjoy the studio vibe. Let’s explore how we make the most of these precious moments to spark our creative ambitions.

Embracing the Pause

Amid the fast pace of artistic creation, it’s easy to forget the value of downtime. These interludes provide us with essential breathing space to reflect and recharge. During these weeks, inspiration flourishes, leading to the birth of exciting new projects, designs, and techniques.

This period encourages experimentation, especially with our unique focus on fused glass art. For instance, we might spend time perfecting a new layering technique, or explore color combinations that have never been tried before. Such exploration leads to innovative works and deeper skills—important contributors to our studio's reputation.

Focusing on Custom Orders

A key element of our in-between time is dedicating focus to custom orders. Each request presents an opportunity to create something special. We often work with clients on personalized fused glass pieces, such as custom yard art, place settings, and fine art , which can take weeks of intensive design and production work. One recent project involved designing a stunning 24-inch fused glass panel for a client's living room, merging their vision with our creative expertise.

By dedicating time to these orders, we don’t just meet expectations; we often exceed them, turning clients' dreams into captivating realities. Each unique piece we create allows us to push the limits of our design and material use.

Bringing New Ideas to Life

At Blazing Star Arts, we believe fun and laughter lives right next to creativity, and wow, do we have fun in the studio! We believe that fusing glass should be about joy as much as it is about the hard work and dedication that goes into each piece. A typical afternoon might involve an impromptu session where we collaborate, play with tools or explore shapes and color. We encourage each other to step outside of our comfort zones and try - or create - new techniques, and let imaginations soar.

The Vibrant Canvas of Creativity

The in-between time at Blazing Star Arts goes beyond just filling a schedule—it’s a lively canvas waiting for a masterpiece. By embracing our downtime, focusing on custom orders, enjoying playful moments in the studio, and bringing new visions to reality, we cultivate an environment that ignites our passion for fused glass art.

We can wait to show you what comes our of our interlude this year! And, if you'd like a custom piece, there has never been a better time to get in touch!
