Are you looking for locally made one-of-a kind sculptures, awards, and glasswork made from genuine high quality materials?
Then Cooperate Image Group Glass Studio and Gallery (CIG) is the right place for you. We use real marble, granite, maple, and oak where the majority of producers use synthetic materials. We’re a small company that puts a finishing Texas touch on all our products.
The story begins in 1979 with Don Casey. With ambition in his heart and talent in his hands, he began making medallions in the garage of his humble home. It was there where the foundation of CIG was built off the hard work and sweat of Don Casey.
His knowledge, passion, and work ethic was passed onto his son, Benjamin Casey, who worked alongside his father in engraving, making glass items, and metal work. In 2001, Benjamin was handed the reigns of the company. Carrying with him his father’s tradition of fine craftsmanship, Benjamin led the business so successfully that after only 8 years, CIG expanded to include a glass studio and gallery.
Those who wish to become talented glassworkers can join our course where we will introduce you to the magic art of glassmaking. Students in our classes consistently comment that they enjoy the personal attention our instructors provide to them. Our instructors of our glass blowing classes go to great lengths to ensure that each student is able to realize their unique vision for their glass ornament projects…
