(Note: 2% surcharge on credit card purchases.  None on debit cards, cash, check or Venmo payments.)
My credit card processing fees have increased dramatically this year.  Thus I am adding a surcharge to credit card purchases to split the cost with my customers.

“To cover the cost of processing a credit or charge card transaction, and pursuant to section 5–2–212, Colorado Revised Statutes, a seller or lessor may impose a processing surcharge in an amount not to exceed {either [2% of the total payment made for goods or services purchased or leased by use of a credit or charge card] or [the merchant discount fee that the seller or lessor incurs in processing the sales or lease transaction]}. A seller or lessor shall not impose a processing surcharge on payments made by use of cash, a check, or a debit card or redemption of a gift card.”

Hi Everyone,
   I had a great time hiking in the southwest corner of the state (Ridgway/Ouray/Silverton/Telluride area).
Snowpack was 24% of average.  So we were able to get up high in June without traversing snow fields.
Luckily, the area has been getting some good Monsoon moisture the last 2 week.

Great Glass Galore will be closed July 18-27
for my next hiking trip to Pagosa Springs.

So make an appointment by the 17th to pick up needed supplies.
(Note: I also am not available on Thursdays when I hike with friends.)
(I will also be closed August 7-14 & 20-26.)

Have a great summer!
Linda Ehlers

P.S. The fall class schedule will come out around mid August.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
STAINED GLASS
Beginners:  All students make the beginner project shown above.  Pick out your own class selection 24 hours or more before the first class or instructor will pick out glass for you. Beginners learn the steps of the copper foil method of stained glass (cutting, grinding, fitting, foiling, soldering, and framing). Try Great Glass Galore tools the 1st week, then purchase or rent tools by the 2nd week. Rent tools ($25), purchase tools ($128-$203 plus tax), or bring your own tools.  Pay the materials fee of $75 or bring you own materials.  The materials fee includes copies, transparencies, dura-lar, glass, foil, solder, flux, metal frame, hooks, and chain.

• Beginners move to the non-beginner classes once they finish their first project.

Non-Beginners:  Work on whatever you want at your own pace (lamps, boxes, clocks, large windows, fusing, mosaics, stepping stones, or another stained glass panel).  Get added help and tips to advance your stained glass skills and knowledge. Materials and tools not included in class fee.
