"Seconds Sale" at Vetro Fine Art Glass
What is a "second sale"? Twice a year Vetro Fine Art Glass invites you to shop their creations that didn't quite make the gallery cut. There might be a slight imperfection, color variance or maybe they just didn't favor the piece as much as another. All the same, they love offering their fine art glass seconds at 25% to 75% off retail. Owner David Gappa staggers the seconds inventory by bringing out new pieces every week.
Vetro Fine Art Glass
A native Texan, born in Fort Hood and raised in Fort Worth, David Gappa discovered and embraced his love of art from a very early age, spending countless hours exploring his creative talents and honing his skills in numerous artistic mediums …painting, sculpting, sketching, and drawing to name just a few.
