Description:
We are a small family upstart company , consisting of my wife, son as well as myself. We started learning glass with the help of D.A.R.S.(Department of Assistive & Rehabilitative Services). We are very grateful for the help we have received from them. It was a good start in learning some things and honing skills but we are at a point where we have outgrown what was provided. Not to mention they would provide nothing that was on a permanent slab. This means no a/c ,no power provided for kiln, need larger kiln for the direction we want to head which is production lamp working , rather than a hobby. Not to mention unable to get funding for proper ventilation. The safety issue of air quality is very important and needed. Things are heading in a good direction & we feel blessed. God is moving in good ways. We know that with love, support and faith we can make this company a success. We just need to get it really up and running with the proper equipment and buying power it needs to maximize profits and expand our creative abilities. Marketing and photography are areas that are improving every day and equipment to better that is key to presenting a good product and improving sales. We know where we are going just need some drive behind a lot of raring to go (URL removed)nk you so much for taking the time to read this, it means a lot to 2 disabled parents and an 18 year old son trying his best to help us.
