Bear Paw Studios is both an artists' studio and a community space. Artists can rent the studio space to work on their custom glass-art creations, but Bear Paw also hosts classes and workshops ideal for newbies and more advanced hobbyists. In introductory courses, students can try their hands at making glass plates in a kiln-working class, create stained glass in a cold-working class, or play with fire in a torch-working session.
