J R in g Hi sto ryThe idea that grew into J. Ring Glass Studio began several years ago in 1972, when JoeRing left his home in St.
Paul, Minn esota to work as an apprentice for the New York Cityfirm of Leo Popper & Sons, one of the last of the old schools of stained glass studios tooffer a regimented hands-on traini ng program in stained glass window construction. Bythe time Joe ca me back to Minnesota to start his own studio in 1975, he knew that hislove of glass would become a lifelong passion.He was joined in 1977 by Susan Thrash, who became his partner, and together theybuilt a successful commission studio in decorative art glass. Among their specialtieswere residential, church and restaurant stained glass, etched glass, both hand andmachine beveling, glass bending (specifically for antique lamp restoration), traditionalstained glass painting, mirror resilvering, and all types of window restoration. Thestudio also sold supplies and taught classes.By the l ate 1990’s, th e sales of supplies had grown beyond the original projections, which led the two owners to believe that the Upper Midwest was in need of an expanded source of supplies for glass artists and crafters, with a resource center offering professional instruction in all areas of glass craft and design. So they closed down the fabrication and custom glass work shop, and focused on developing a new educational and supply facility. In 2017 they downsized and moved to a new location at 1902 Minnehaha Ave West in St.
Paul where we continue to sell products and provide classes.Today the focus of J. Ring Glass Studio has evolved around kiln-worked glass.

Both Joe and Susan view hot glass as a dynamic, versatile medium, and it is especially gratifying that now they are able to devote time developing their own styles of kiln-worked glass. You can see examples of their work from time to time in the Gallery Section of this web site. Or you can stop by the studio and see for yourself.J Ring PhilosopyAt J.
