Tornado relief for Taffy (Niko)
Donation protected
My name is Nikolai, I am a glass artist working near St Petersburg FL with my friend Zack.
Six days ago a level 2 tornado tore through our shop while I was working on my torch. A notification that came 45 seconds before it hit probably saved my shopmate Zack and myself from serious harm; as we made it to the shower as our doors and a dividing wall got sucked in all directions. It was one of the craziest experiences of my life. I'm so thankful we walked away uninjured.
Unfortunately, our shop was in the final stages of build out and we were awaiting fire marshal approval before we finalized our rental insurance. We have been working non-stop to repair and rebuild. Thankfully we should be back to work by next week. Some of our equipment and materials were destroyed but the worst part has been the down time while we clean and repair and process what we just went through.
Please help if you can. Any donations will go directly to the equipment and materials lost. Thanks to all of our friends and neighbors who have already lent their time and hands to sort through the rubble and get our livelihood back up and running.
If you don't know me and would like to see what I make at this glass studio, please check out my instagram @taffythegrey @taffytubes @cupwizard
