About Us
Our love for fused glass has created the opportunity to teach others and watch them fall in love with the artform as well!
Meet The Owners
Since 2007 we have had a love for fused glass – the art, the process, the way it looks as it reflects the light in our home.
We operated a successful paint-your-own-pottery and glass fusing studio for over 14 years in Howell, MI and met many wonderful people. In that time, we taught others how to create their own fused glass creations and helped to inspire them to pursue their artistic dreams.
We sold the brick-and-mortar studio in November 2021 and transformed our basement into our glass fusing workshop. What once was a darkroom for fine art black and white prints, has become a room full of grinders, sanders and saws.
We participate in many local juried fine art shows each year and also do a few commission art pieces. Helen does the majority of the workshops as Frank has a full-time career. We teach at several art centers in the area, as well as do team building events on location at corporations. This is really where our hearts are – teaching others how to create wonderful fused glass pieces of their own!
Our Glass Story Continues…
We are very fortunate that our community and surrounding areas have embraced the art of glass fusing so much so that we did not have enough room to operate this part of our business out of our house. As luck would have it (is there really such a thing as chance or luck?) one day Frank was riding his motorcycle home from work. Traffic was moving way too slow to stay on the expressway on such a nice day, so he decided to take Grand River through Farmington to our home in Farmington Hills. As he was passing Silver Dairy he looked to his left and did a double take. The Public Gym that was once for lease had a “For Sale” sign on it. So the next chapter began.
We bought the building in December of 2023 and turned it into a fused glass studio! We opened the doors on May 4th with hundreds of people showing up to the open house – and thousands more since then have joined our workshops for the first time, and multiple times. Over the past year we have added flame working classes with torches and continue to expand our glass offerings, while also being voted new business of the year by the Farmington/Farmington Hills Chamber of Commerce.
We look forward to meeting others that appreciate the craft of fused glass at our local art shows, around town and at our studio! See the calendar for scheduled workshops throughout the month and gallery times to come and shop for unique glass items, or just stop by to take a look around.
