Boulder Public Library tested in December, after the library director worried about the health of his twoperson cleaning team repeatedly sent into the bathroom after reports of putrid smoke.

Once the painting is nished, Limpalair glazes, dries and res the pieces in her kiln over the course of a week or so. When the process is done, she lets her customers know via text that they can pick up their now shiny, food-safe, water-tight works of art.

Limpalair, who previously worked as a massage therapist and a medical receptionist, began formulating a plan for her business in 2020. Originally, the studio was something she thought she’d pursue in her “golden years.” But after spending some time looking inward and contemplating what she really wanted to devote her time and energy to, Limpalair decided not to wait.

“It’s great because I can make as much art as I want and work really hard for myself rather than for a business or corporation,” she said.

It took Limpalair several months to nd the right spot in the Denver metro area for her studio. In addition to considering price and her commute, she was checking out the “community vibe” of potential locations because she knew that, wherever she settled, she wanted to get involved.

It’s charming in a very understated ness. In addition to appreciating the neighborhood in which the studio is located, she nds the shops and restaurants just north of on Broadway and Hampden endearing.

Before even opening Glaze & Phase’s doors, Limpalair helped at a Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce Halloween event in that area, handing out free costumes in the community. Currently, she’s collecting feminine hygiene products in her shop for a local women’s shelter.

“I know I haven’t been open for long, but I really wanted to get that going,” she said of her e orts.

Glaze & Phase’s forays in the community also have a digital side. e business features customers’ work in its social media videos. ese “community shout outs” are a fun way to acknowledge people’s creativity and engage with the public, Limpalair said.

In her studio, she enjoys putting her artistic experience to work for customers, answering questions and o ering advice, if needed, on how to approach an item, create a design or achieve a look.

“ is is what I eat, breathe and sleep,” Limpalair said.
