The Real Story - from Arrow Springs!
When we began what people said about us was this “there is always something new at Arrow Springs” – it was an exciting time full of amazing creativity, we were helping to make possible a whole new branch of glass art with tools, kilns and “toys” never dreamed of before. We expanded our inventory to supply the growing needs of our growing field. But now, it is about optimizing. We are optimizing our space (which will involve a move, now in process), and our product lines. We are working very hard to keep our amazing staff all in place.
The economy has presented challenges to us all. We have brainstormed and crunched numbers – but most importantly we have listened to you, our customers. The most important asset we can provide is to continue to make available the very finest American designed and made tools in the lampworking world and also to create new and exciting glass and frit blends.
You can buy Effetre and videos and other supplies at a dozen or more places. When we started we could count suppliers on one hand and not use all the fingers. We will continue to carry other lines of glass beyond BellaDonna, but it will be available for purchase via phone or email, we won’t be putting it up on the website. We will try to keep the basics in stock at all times: clear, black, ivory and white along with a selection of the most asked for glass – and still at competitive prices.
In the meantime we sincerely, from the bottom of our hearts, appreciate your continued support. You have always been there for us and we are trying our very hardest to be here for you with the products you need the most. We have every intention of emerging from this optimization process a leaner, streamlined, more efficient glass and tool provider that you can always count on for the very finest and most cutting edge, innovative products.
Thanks for the discussion, we care so much about you, our glass family – it’s nice to see the concern and support here!
