2 Our Story What We Do Our Culture In 2010, during one of the most devasta ng mes in our economy, two resourceful entrepreneurs, coincidentally husband and wife, took the leap from a loved hobby to a business. In a building that had been vacant for ten years, with space to spare, their humble business began. Bre & Natalie started Live Laugh Love Art with the idea that people loved to create art. Star ng with glass blowing, people came and filled the studio with smiling faces. So they asked themselves, could we do more? As our customers grew, so did our class offerings. Soon they started offering Glass Fusing, Sip N Paint, Wood Sign Classes, and Paint Your Own Po ery. Throughout the years our customers had always asked if we would consider opening another loca on, so we did. Today, their hobby on steroids, Live Laugh Love Art is a full service art ac vity center that hosts corporate team building, summer camps, girl s night out, birthday par es and averages 15,000-20,000 people, per year, through classes and events.
