Frantz @ Gathering YES YES YES

What will The Frantz Booth be like at the Gathering????????

We are bringing something new to the Gathering that nobody has ever brought, the Effetre Frit Bar. There will be over 60 different frits for you to combine and let your imagination decide what your own frit mixture should be. And if you find a combination, you will find frits for sale at our booth.

But there is more, I am bringing to the Gathering the first Frantz Art Glass Relaxation Booth!

Just about the day the Gathering starts, we will be releasing 18 new colors from Messy.

We will also be bringing with us the newst 4 new colors from Effetre.

We are now selling a new clear coe104, 5-6mm made in Italy.

One of the biggest thrills for me this year is I am bringing some of the Frantz Art Collection to display and some pieces for sale...everything has a price. Also bringing large selection of Millefiori, and Millefiori Art. Also a large selection of Vittorio Constantini Art and a few of special pieces that rock my world.

I will update this thread as other things fall into place.

Sounds awesome!

I have found some handpulled Effetre, the end of the pulls, thick diameters, tapered sizes, and some twisted cane and all at Fantastic Prices. TWO BUCK A PIECE! And pieces can range in weight from one tenth to a quarter pound per piece.

So Far from Effetre I have found 10 different colors and I am still looking for more. If you are coming to the Gathering and there is something special you want us to bring, let us know and we will try to accommodate each and ever persons requests.

Ooh..what's cotisso? Sounds like I need some...

SharonP · #7 2012-07-11, 6:12pm

Chunkage! Too cool, Mike!

FosterFire · #8 2012-07-11, 8:02pm

Cotisso looks like a rock. Just go to Frantz website and enter cotisso and you can see some. I am a geology major and part of me wants to show the "new" rock I find to other geologists..*snicker*

Sheila D. · #9 2012-07-11, 8:16pm

Oooohhhh....the rocks. I forgot they were called that! I want to play at the frit bar!

There is no doubt that I probably have to work Sat or Sunday before the Gathering, but we are not open on the weekend, but if anybody would like to come down and look around, just email me next week and we can decide on a day and time. But if you were looking for us open, then Monday through Friday.

Thanks and see as many of you as possible.

Mike

Mike - will you be bringing any didymium glasses to the Gathering? I really need a new pair but I'd love to be able to try them on before buying.

When you come to the Frantz Booth I will have a display case with dozens of different styles.

We will have over 160 different soft colors at the show, but that is probably only half of the number of colors we have, so if you have any requests, please let us know and I will do my best to bring those items to the show just for you.

I do have a driver coming down as well on Friday, so if we run out of something, or there is a request for any items, tools, glass etc we would be able to bring them down for you.

Please visit us and check out our display glass of art, and remember, each piece has a story behind it, and I love spinning tales, I mean telling true stories as there is a story behind each piece.

I think that the location of this Gathering will prove to be the best and most exciting one ever yet.

Thanks Mike! I will be looking for Effetre Earth and Vetrofond Verde Muschio in particular and I'm sure the impulse bug will bite me as well.

Can't wait!

IksBeadedCreations · #20 2012-07-19, 11:40am

I want to go so bad... your booth sounds like so much fun!!

Carolyn Hipskind · #21 2012-07-19, 12:03pm

Are you bringing any glass from the FunHouse Like 511773 Tamarind (the original)? Carolyn

Hi Mike,
I am looking forward to meeting you at the Gathering.

Julie

Elizabeth Beads · #23 2012-07-19, 3:39pm

Will there be any $3 bundles like you had in Miami? That was the most fun I have ever had for $3 (times a couple of dozen or so, but who's counting).

Elegance_1 · #24 2012-07-19, 6:59pm

*S* I don't have enough vacation time saved up or money for the trip.

Will you be having a pity party sale for all of us who can't go?

I've been drooling over the Cotisso since you first got it. They are soooo beautiful!
