Founded by Rose Ann Hall and passed to her son Charlie, Rose Ann Hall Designs provides educational and technical training to employees, including a significant number with physical disabilities. Using centuries-old artistry, the studio creates unique hand blown glassware and traditional, hand poured Mexican church candles. The glassware is still engraved using the traditional method of "pepita". This intricate engraving using a grinding wheel to create the patterns and shapes was first introduced to what is now Mexico in 1524, when the Spaniard Rodrigo de Espinoza opened Mexico's first glass factory in Puebla.
