On Tuesday 11/08/2016, Rich took me on a short hike to Indian Wells. On our way home we stopped at a glass shop in Shelton at 415 Howe Ave. We ended up meeting several artisans.
First we met the people at The Glass Source where they produce hand made glass items, which are very cool. They were very nice and informative. We definitely want to go back to make some glass ornaments and hopefully strike a wholesale deal.
Second place we went to was Hoopla, Nichole is the owner, which makes handmade hoola hoops. Nichole also runs some art event throughout the valley. She was a wealth of information and, btw, is married to a member of the band The Alpaca Gnomes. She let us know about an event being held there on Dec. 3. Rich and I plan on going. She also is ageeable to wholesaling to us as well as coming out to our shop to help with some events.
The last person we met was Marshall. He is the owner/artisan of Periodic Tableware. He has some very neat glassware made out of beakers and will be at the Dec 3rd event where he will be releasing his new beaker shaker. He also let us know he does wholesale.
