The Art a'N'd Glass studio was founded by Ann Bremer who, along with her husband Fred, has operated it since it's founding in 1994.  Beginning as a traditional stained glass shop, the studio has evolved into a hot glass shop of lampworkers.  Drawing on the various disciplines today's work is primarily glass beads, jewelry, glass boxes, kaleidoscopes, and fused glass.

Ann began her artistic career early starting in middle school working with pottery.  As she developed as an artist she has worked in many mediums including oil, acrylics, and pencil.  She is an accomplished china painter and has created and painted many porcelain dolls.  She began her glass career with a class in stained glass in 1983.  Besides her own work she has taught many stained glass classes and more recently, has taught the fundamentals of glass beadmaking.  In her career she has attended many classes and workshops including a box and mirror seminar with Don Doak.

Fred's path to the glass world has been much more recent.  Trained as an engineer his professional career has been in various aspects of the computer world.  Additionally he was a member of the Naval Reserve.  In 1994 Ann began teaching him the fundamentals of stained glass.  Finding that glass artistry satisfied he technical nature and gave an outlet for his artistic interests his experience in glass has closely paralleled Ann's.  He looks to the day when he will retire from corporate America and devote his time working with glass.
