Potek Glass moved into a new studio space in 2004 and began a glass center known as Big Dipper Glassworks, where we:
   lease torch table space, (both hourly and monthly)
    rent cold working equipment and kiln time
    invite instructors for special workshops
    hire speakers
    host glass meetings
and try to be a resource to those interested in pursuing glass as an art form.
