Here at Creative Genius we've been working with some great artists over the past 5 years. Yes, we've been lucky! Well, in line with our expansion, we've also been working on adding some great new artists to the fold of wonderful creators already showcasing their works here at Creative Genius.

Here's a sampling of a few of our latest additions:

Deb DeMarco-lampworking and fused glass, truly creative pendants at great affordable prices...you definitely want to check out her Goddess pendants and sea horse pendants. They are one of a kind, lampworked creations...

Iridescent Dreams-fused glass jewelry and wine bottle toppers...really unique sterling silver and fused glass rings and reversible bracelets...a new favorite for a few of our clients...

From the Heart Creations-more silverware jewelry with a different twist...accessible and fun and different from the other artists we've showcased in this genre...

EXPANSION!

Yes, it has been a while since anything has been posted here and it is primarily because Creative Genius has expanded, and I have been incredibly busy (with lots of help) making it happen.
The studio is now in the rear of our space with a convenient separate entrance and access to the rear parking lot. Very convenient and great for people coming in for classes, parties, etc. It is all set up and is a nice studio environment. Nothing too fancy but it totally works and our students have been loving it so far.
The gallery is now 25% bigger. Where our studio space used to be is now additional gallery/exhibit space and we are slowly adding more cool items. We've got sculptures arriving, we've got new art arriving and we're having fun making it all happen. There's even a spot to sit near our StoryPeople area (I promised a few StoryPeople fans that this would happen and I am not one to back out of a promise :)
So there's great things happening every day...come see what's new at Creative Genius!
