The Ega on Facebook

It just occurred to me that many of you might be wondering about our website. We let it go. Last year the decision was made to throttle back on the work involved as a team. As a result some of the labor intensive things had to go. We are all still very active as glass artists, just not so much as an organized team.

To see our newest listings on Etsy search for "egateam" or use this link, "http://www.etsy.com/search?q=egateam"

This blog and our Facebook page is what we have left. We hope that you will join us on Facebook and thank you for watching & supporting us as we continue to work with our love for glass!

Our FB page is here. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Etsy-Glass-Artists/145042464219

We're Still Here!

You might have noticed we haven't updated our blog lately. We have decided as a group that we had to turn it down a notch as we were all spreading ourselves too thin. Between our commitments to family, our businesses, friends, and the EGA team (among other teams as well) it was just too much.

With that said rest assured WE ARE STILL HERE! Our website is updated daily as new items are listed in our shops.
Our blogs are also listed in the left column here.

We're so grateful for your support and hope you continue to follow us as we explore our creative glass endeavors, thank you so much.
