Julia and Robin Rogers have co-owned a glass studio together since 2001. First, located in Florence, MT, it was called Cloud Cap Glass, also co-owned by Richard Langley. They produced a line of handblown glass as well as offered glassblowing classes to the public. In 2003, the studio was moved to Missoula, MT and restructured as Missoula Hot Glass. In addition to the hot studio, they added a flame-working classroom and offered classes in both furnace and flame-working techniques. By 2005 the couple decided to pursue advanced degrees in the field of fine art, specifically, glass. It was at this time that they built the portable glass studio and took their show on the road. Hence, the birth of Nomadic Glass. Since that time, the Nomadic studio has been used to demonstrate glass working at festivals, galleries and private parties. On-site workshops have also been provided for the purpose of educational outreach. |
