Hello everyone,

We are reaching out to you with excitement and a passion for creativity! Our glassblowing studio is a place where imagination meets craftsmanship, where molten glass transforms into art, and where dreams are shaped by skilled hands.

Who We Are: We are a woman owned business. Our studio will serve as a hub for aspiring artists, students eager to learn, and seasoned professionals honing their craft. Together, we strive to preserve the ancient art of glassblowing while pushing its boundaries into new realms of expression.

Our Story: I, Briana, have been blowing glass off and on for about 10 years now. I also studied Material Science Engineering with a focus in glass and metal. I met my wonderful partner Arlette, and from there introduced her to glass two years ago. With this interest and passion we have embarked on a journey of opening our own studio and develop it into a thriving community space. A place where artists collaborate, experiment, and innovate. We want to host workshops for local schools, provide apprenticeships for budding glassblowers, and showcase our work in galleries across the region.

Why We Need Your Help: Despite our passion and dedication, building a fully equipped glassblowing studio is no small feat. From purchasing specialized tools to building our furnaces and annealers, the costs quickly add up. As we strive to finish equipment and choose a place to start, we need your support more than ever.

How Your Contribution Will Make a Difference: 

Your generous donations will directly fund:

1. Materials to build and finish equipment - currently working on building a furnace, fixing glory hole, and fixing a lap wheel. 

2. Transportation: Shipping all equipment and materials to its final destination. 

3. Security and Safety: Construct  an area to close up the studio when finished and have a safe and secure building. 

4. Outreach to Community: Offering free workshops to schools in underserved communities. 

Our Commitment to You: We deeply appreciate your support, and we want to give back to our donors. Depending on your contribution level, we offer:

  • Recognition on our studio website  (in progress) and social media channels.
  • Invitations to exclusive studio tours and demonstrations.
  • Custom glass art pieces crafted by our talented artists.

Join Us in Shaping the Future of Glass Art: By supporting our studio, you are not just investing in glassblowing; you are nurturing creativity, fostering education, and preserving an ancient art form for generations to come. Together, we can continue to ignite imaginations and transform molten glass into breathtaking works of art.

Conclusion: Thank you for considering our cause. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal of creating a vibrant, sustainable future for glass artistry. Please donate and share our campaign with your friends, family, and anyone who believes in the power of creativity.

Let's keep the fire burning bright in our glassblowing studio!

Thank you for your time and support!

Warm regards,

Arlette and BrianaOwners of Ablaze [email protected]
