The Abote family has moved their GLASS headquarters to Denver. A downtown Denver building has been completely renovated and they have spared no expense to make the new Bella Glass a one-stop shop. The beautiful architecture and attention to detail have created an environment that will spark your creative energy and make you want to return again and again to take classes....or just hang out and be creative with other "glass addicts". There are even studio spaces upstairs to rent!
Here are a few images of the lampworking studio as it appeared in March, 2005. This room is just a small section within the Bella complex....over 6,000 square feet in all. There is space for 8 torches here. A lot of planning and experience make this state of the art studio a dream come true for beadmakers! Go check it out! Shannon and company are HUGE supporters of the HOPE Bracelet Project), so please go BUY something to thank them for their big hearts!
Congratulations on your new building and kudos for your BIG vision of a bright future in GLASS!
Amazing! And SO much COLOR!
The annealers are on the left and

Plenty of room to learn and work

A clean, safe
and creative environment
to teach....and LEARN...in!
Great Job!
The Big Hearted Abote Family regularly
opens up their studio and provides all
materials for a whole day of beadmaking
to benefit the HOPE Bracelet Project!
