glass studio space? kinda confused.........

zoomtopia is the name of the building that is housing my new flameworking and glassblowing studio. My studio is one of several in the building. We have a dance studio, photo studio, wordstock publishers, a printmaking studio, and gallery all n the same building. Zoomtopia is on 8th and belmont in southeast portland.

I want to thank everyone who was able to make it to the opening. We estimate there were 450- 600 people there throughout the night, and we went through 2 mini kegs, 1 full size keg from rouge/ green dragon, a dozen cases of wine, and about 30 bottles of vodka and other local spirits from distillery row. It was really fun and I encourage anyone who wants to do some colabs to get in touch or come on by.
