What’s New? – Fired & Fused

What’s New? – Fired & Fused

by | Nov 7, 2025 | Farmington, LBN Retail, LBN What's New

Helen Agius-Andreae and her husband Frank accidentally found their passion in fused glass. Now, years later, they own a shop in Farmington that sells beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces as well as offers workshops where you can build your own creation. More than a glass studio, Fired and Fused is part of the community. Helen and Frank need their neighbors’ help to make an art installation at a local park possible. Stop in, try something new, and leave a lasting impression on your community.
