01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

April Wagner, an artist and master glassblower, started Epiphany Studios in 1993 and still runs it. The Pontiac studio went up in 2000 and was expanded in 2022, and every piece is hand-blown right there: paperweights, hearts, pumpkins, ornaments and their popular sleeping kitties. They also make memorial glass that holds a loved one's or a pet's ashes. Want to try it yourself? Their hands-on workshops put you at the bench next to a pro, no experience needed, and you take your piece home.
