Bella Forte Glass Studio and Italian Jim's Pizzeria are family owned businesses that are new to Downtown Edmond. The businesses were opened in the former Bender Motors Building that was in operation during the turn of the century.
Since the glass blowing studio is located in a former auto garage, they have huge doors that open up to Broadway, the main street through downtown Edmond. Visitors to the area can watch from the sidewalk or walk in and sit to observe Chris and Micah create the pieces. The artists enjoy telling visitors about the process as they create the pieces in front of an audience.
Italian Jim's is next door, and if you are lucky you may be seated in the room that has a view of the studio, and can watch the artists at work while you eat good Italian food! Inside the restaurant is a display of the McGahan signature glass line for sale, including a beautiful chandelier at the front entrance.
