With the wealth of experience garnered over the past thirty years through studying, repairing, and emulating antique forms and styles - traditional designs come easy for Bogenrief studios. From the beginning, they wanted to be like Tiffany, creating beautiful works of art with expert craftsmanship. They have made repairs to antique pieces and delivered commissioned works in the Tiffany style in addition to their work in contemporary and abstract designs. They have been successful in that endeavor, so much so that they are slowly phasing out the repair portion of the business as the demand increases for commissioned work. It is a welcome direction, relates Jeanne Bogenrief, co-founder of Bogenrief Studios, as it allows them to concentrate more on the creative aspects of studio work to which they are drawn. With a production studio in Sutherland, Iowa, and a gallery and hot glass studio in Spencer, Iowa, Bogenrief Studios has the capacity to meet the increasing demand. . . . . .
