Covid19 Update

What a strange and difficult time we are living in!  We are all affected, some much more than others.  I am grateful to all on the front lines, risking health to protect and heal us or to simply ensure we have the food, medicine and supplies we need-- and also to those dealing with loneliness or children home from school.

I'm lucky to be home, with my studio right upstairs. While I can't offer much besides carefully isolating myself, I want to contribute in some small way.  So I will continue to offer my art to the world.  My shows and exhibits are all cancelled, so I am hoping to reach out online.  

I am offering a 10% discount on all my jewelry, with a free sterling silver chain with each pendant.  Use the coupon code CovidStressRemedy when you make your order.  OR, if you are not financially affected by the crisis, perhaps you would prefer to contribute to those in need.  Rather than a discount, I will contribute 15% of the purchase price to the Capital Area Food Bank.  Use the coupon code  foodbankfund for this.  (Please just use one of the coupons.)


About Joy of Glass

​Whether you want to express your style with beautiful jewelry, enhance your home with art, or serve food on beautiful dishes, glass is a wonderful medium.  Its colors can be brilliant or subtle, it complements and magnifies light, and its configurations are endless.  Silver makes a perfect companion to glass in creating one-of-a-kind fine jewelry.  Joy of Glass seeks to perfect the art of glass fusing and silversmithing to bring deeply satisfying, and -- yes, joyful -- art to the world.

“If art doesn’t make us better, then what on earth is it for?”
-Alice Walker
