Cubby's

Our studio is always described as “comfortable” and that it has a “relaxed atmosphere”. Why? Besides the fact that we promote kindness and good will, the comfortable atmosphere has been attributed to the antique wood throughout, complimented by the antiques and art displayed.

We have been teaching Classes in Stained Glass on and off since the “80’s”. We only take eight students at a time and spend “hands-on” time with each student. Students are encouraged to build anything from small stained glass “suncatchers” to large stained glass windows.

Just take a moment to visit "The Students Page" to see all the students who have taken classes here at Cubby's!  Just scroll down the page and you'll see all the projects they've been creating.  You might also see someone you know! Click on the picures to ENLARGE them.   Many of these students have been together for years.  Many never thought they had a "creative bone" in their body before coming to class here.

In our Dichroic/Fusing classes we take a maximum of three students at a time. Each student is taught how to make Dichroic Pendants or Fused Glass from start to finish. Each student takes home 4-6 pendants or 3-4 Fused glass projects. Dichroic glass is a beautiful glass known for its reflective qualities.

If you want to purchase Dichroic Jewelry, rest assured, we constantly change our line of Dichroic jewelry, always coming up with new designs and colors. Many of our customers come back time after time to pick up another pendant to match a particular outfit or for a gift for someone special.

Our Art Clay Silver Classes are limited to 2-3 students. Students learn the basics of working with Art Clay and take home a finished piece of silver  jewelry. If you’re not familiar with Art Clay Silver it’s like Playdough or clay. Once shaped and fired in our kilns it turns into 99.9% Silver!

Cubby’s Forever Fingerprints are actual fingerprints of family members, friends and children that are made into 99.9% silver or fused glass pendants. Preserve someones special fingerprints in silver or different colors in fused glass. Think about the impact these fingerprints could leave behind! What if fingerprints were available, right now, from people who have passed before us (famous or not)? They’ll be kept and cherished forever. These are really special......

You can see other art projects incorporating wood, glass, metal and MOSAICS on the Cubby's Other Art page. There's things like Island Furniture, Island Signs, Copper leaves growing up our shed, a Cherry Fish Cabinet, Custom Wood Work Tables, fused glass and more!

We’ve had such a great response to our  Bottle Trees. Check out our Bottle Tree Farm in our back yard!  If you don't live close... just click on the link you just pasted.  We've been wondering if we can get an agricultural tax break for our property since we are growing our trees for resale? The Bottle Trees start at $25.00 for a small "bush" and go up from there.  We now have a varity of small "table top bottle trees". You can see them on the bottle tree page also.  Trees come with or without leaves (bottles) and the prices for trees depends on the colors, number of bottles and size of the trees.  Our trees are made with HEAVY steel branches. All bottle trees come with a copper leaf, hand cut, signed, with the number of the tree as it was "grown" (see picture below).  Each copper leaf is attached to the tree via steel wire. We will travel to build a bottle tree on site. If you would like us to create a blue bottle tree (or any color) bottle tree for you, your home or business, please call us for a quote. Bottle trees are said to keep evil spirts, entering your propery, trapped inside. Also known as, "Poor Mans Stained Glass",  they have other saving qualties as well. You can read more about the "Origin of Bottle Trees".

WOW!  Eveyone LOVES our Twig Holders! They come in many different shapes and sizes.  We create them out of Stained Glass and Clay. Sometimes we mix in some Dichroic Glass on the glass ones.  Whether made of glass or clay we fire them in our kilns, right here at Cubby's.  As we like to ask, "Without a Twig Holder from Cubby's, what's one to do with their twigs"? People love the concept and THEY MAKE GREAT GIFTS!
