Glass blowing business demands COVID-19 payout from insurance company Businesses across the nation are seeing billions of dollars in pandemic losses.

To all those creatives that have continued to reach out, continued to offer kind words, help where they can and simply your understanding and support, we cannot thank you enough. Those kind words have helped us get through some tough times. We want you to know we are still here, offering private off site classes and continuing to try and reopen.

Local small business sues over denied insurance claims related to COVID-19 closures - In Business Madison Supporting one another was how many small businesses and organizations made it through the COVID-19 pandemic, but for one Madison-based glass blowing business, what was supposed to be a partnership between its insurance company and itself has been anything but supportive.

Hey Creatives!
An update from the team...

What a ride the past year has been. Officially one year since we closed our doors due to Covid.

At first, Landlords did not accept that we were closed due to a global pandemic, and we had to leave our location. As we patiently awaited a safe time to reopen, the days grew longer and unfortunately the pandemic dragged on. Glass blowing requires, lots of close personal attention, so staying 6 feet away can be challenging when someone is struggling with a project, as well as participants would normally use their mouth as a tool to blow their glass... this posed obvious issues in reopening as well. Then we were denied our insurance claims and hope of reopening a new location became very far out of reach. Not able to cover any of our losses or employees. We walked into another wall, where we had hoped for a little reprieve from insurance, whom we had been paying.
plenty of other small businesses are facing thr same denial, insurance term "exceptions" hidden within exceptions.

Our hearts goes out to all small businesses who are facing hardship or struggling right now.

Insurer denies Madison glass blowing business coverage, calls COVID-19 'pollutant' The owners of Classy Glass Inc. of Madison were confident their commercial insurance through The Cincinnati Insurance Companies would cover their business interruption. But, they got denied.

Good day creatives, adventurous folks & curious seekers,

It is with a heavy heart we make the announcement that we will be closed to classes for the Summer. Considering the safety of everyone, especially the safety of our customers we realize opening would pose risk, as we would not be able to abide by many of the CDC and local protocols due to the physical involvement during Glass Blowing. Masks cannot be worn during the process of blowing glass and gloves unfortunately would limit dexterity when using our hands to move the glass. As well, it is challenging for the instructor to maintain a 6 feet safe distance with such a hand-on activity that can be challenging without hands-on help from the instructor. Unfortunately these protocols can make glass blowing challenging and undoable as opposed to fun & challenging, because of this we feel it is the safest option to remain closed. As much as we want to open, gather, and get creative with you all, we realize the responsible choice is to remain closed to classes during this time.
Looking over the CDC & local protocols as well as discussing options with the team, the best way for us to keep a safe environment is to remain closed to classes during a time that could possibly spike the pandemic. We apologize and really wish we could be creating with you in the studio, so badly!

expire. Once our doors reopen our regular Groupon calendar for classes will be released.

Dang... do we miss playing in the fire with you all! As Head Instructor at Denver Glass Academy, I held out a lot of hope and optimism that we would open sooner and as much as opening, getting creative and playing in the fire with you all sounds like so much fun, your safety, your family's safety, and the communities safety is the #1 priority right now.
