Business Spotlight: The Artery Studio <br />and Glass Arts <br /> In 2004, Krista Gordhamer stepped into her ? rst stained glass class at Anoka Ramsey <br />Community College. Little did she know, it would ignite a ? re within her to pursue a <br />career in art and business. <br /> “I’ve loved it ever since,” Gordhamer said, smiling. “My biggest goal as an artist is to <br />be unique and unconventional in my designs.” <br /> And unconventional she was. From colorful suncatchers, to geometric glass plant art, <br />Gordhamer takes pride in her creations made from an uncommon medium. <br /> Wanting to share her gi? s with the community, Gordhamer opened her ? rst art <br />studio, ? e Artery Studio and Glass Arts, here in Ramsey in October of last year. Prior to <br />that, she had been working out of her home in Coon Rapids for the past ten years. <br /> “My dad has had his business located in Ramsey for 20 years and there was an opening in the same offi ce building <br />that ? t my needs for a physical studio,” she said. So, Gordhamer jumped at the opportunity. <br /> “Now, I'm focusing on beginner projects for those who've wanted to try stained glass without the commitment of <br />purchasing tools and supplies,” she said. “I also prep all the projects for the highest possibility of success.” <br /> ? e Artery Studio and Glass Arts specializes in traditional, copper foil stained glass and mosaic classes for beginners <br />to advanced levels. Both public and private classes are off ered. ? e Artery Studio and Glass Arts is located at 6957 High- <br />way 10, Suite 101 in Ramsey.
