How to Use Simple Screens for Professional Fused Glass Results

If you’ve ever admired glass art with imagery that looks perfectly printed with detailed imagery-you’ve likely wondered how artists achieve that level of precision. The secret? Simple Screens — professional-grade screen printing stencils available for all artists at aaeglass.com.

At FusingParty.com, you’ll find free video tutorials that teach you how to use Simple Screens to create bold, clean, and professional imagery on your fused glass projects. Tanya Veit, world-renowned glass artist and founder of AAE Glass and Fusing Party, has developed an easy process that delivers professional-looking results — even for beginners.

Why Use Simple Screens for Fused Glass

Simple Screens allow you to transfer detailed designs directly onto glass using enamels or Big mouth paints.   The process eliminates the need for stencils or decals, giving you sharp, permanent results that fire beautifully in the kiln.

Whether you’re creating jewelry, decorative panels, or trays, Simple Screens make it easy to:

• Apply intricate designs without smudging or blurring
• Layer imagery with multiple colors
• Combine screen printing with enamels, powders, and frits
• Achieve a polished, professional finish every time
