The Glassblowers of Manitou
Beginning in 1963, Joe and Paula Pastuer embarked in the beginning of a new frontier for them and their descendants. Motivated by the beauty of glass artwork, Joe and Paula desired to share their love of glass artwork, so in the suburbs of Chicago the Glassblowers was born. This small, family-run operation provided for several years. However, it wasn't until 1973 that the Glassblowers took a different turn.

Arriving in Manitou Springs, CO
Manitou Springs is well known as being a popular vacation retreat because of its location at the base of Pikes Peak. While visiting Joe and Paula became enamored with Manitou Springs and its welcoming environment. Manitou Springs is host to visitors from all around the world, thus offering the opportunity to Joe and Paula to share their artwork with individuals all around the globe. So, captivated by Colorado, Joe and Paula decided that they would relocate their family business to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. In 1973 the Pastuer family, now consisting of Joe, Paula and their two sons, picked up shop and moved to Colorado to offer unique glass creations.

Since 1973
Joe and Paula have continued to offer their glass artwork and develop upon the once delicate framework of their business. They have passed down the art of hand blown glass to their sons and other immediate family. They continue to operate out of Manitou Springs as headquarter but since have had shops in Salt Lake City Utah, Estes Park Colorado, Pueblo Colorado and in several other locations. The Glassblowers of Manitou continues to offer a very personal experience that matches the glass creation with the person, creating a custom bond through an artistic creation that relates with the viewer. They continue to meet the personalized demands of customers by creating, through delicate movements, the desired piece. Recently the Glassblowers of Manitou has launched an online store in an attempt to reach a broader audience looking for the perfect glass creation. They continue to develop while maintaining the highest standards of quality and customer assurance.
