From Margie

I started my business in this location in 2004. I am the sole owner (except my husband has been my main supporter and custodian).

After a 19-plus-year career as a mom, I decided to re-enter the business world as a shop owner. I had too much experience telling my family what to do all those years to let it go to waste!

Opening the glass studio gave me the outlet for my creative side. We added the ceramic paint studio about a year and half after the original opening because it seemed a good fit.

Our coffee shop, “The Black Iguana,” was my attempt to bring people into the glass shop that otherwise would never come through the door – and it’s worked very well. We offer Minot’s best coffee drinks!

Classy glass

Margie’s offers a wide variety of glass classes including stained glass, fused glass, mosaic, and jewelry making. They also have a drop-in-paint-your-own pottery studio that has been well received in the community.

Downtown events

Margie’s Art Glass participates in a lot of downtown events, like the Bunny Walk, Treat Trail, and a Minot favorite, The Wine Walk. Margie’s also supports open house events during the holidays.

Before it was Margie’s

For the 24 years before I owned the building, “Sax” maternity and children’s clothes was in the building; before that “Stevenson’s” (men’s wear I believe) Then back to 1906 a series of five and dime stores selling stockings, shoes, thread, with this and that.
