The New Glass Kilns have Arrived!

The New Glass Kilns have Arrived!

Posted on Sep 20, 2024, by
This spring, we announced the retirement of our two well-loved kilns, and shared an urgent need to replace them. Our classes and outreach — offered across all age ranges and abilities — have been in high demand, often above capacity, with waitlists.

The invitation to support the purchase of two new kilns through our “Help Us Grow” campaign was mission-critical. And we’re thrilled to share that you’ve made it possible!

Thanks to your support, we have two newly delivered, custom-made, ready to serve kilns created by renowned Wisconsin glass artists Wes and Wesley Hunting of Hunting Studio Glass.

Please join us in celebrating what you’ve made possible:

This incredible team effort has been made possible by YOU!
