NEWS: January 2012:
We have moved!
We closed our Carefree studio & gallery and moved to Scottsdale. Our new location is now open. We have a complete professional studio (which includes a large cold working studio).  In addition to having a beautiful glass gallery, the studio is able to offer glass workshops, classes & "just for fun" programs. The new studio has a large workshop area. We can accomodate specialty groups, and more. AND we have our great coldworking / sandblasting and kilnformed glass studio.

NOTE: Our Flagstaff studio is open for the summer! Workshops, classes, Mini-gallery, and more. Come by and see us! 27 Mikes Pike Flagstaff AZ 928-779-2123
