Distinctive glass jewelry and art inspired by natural beauty and the joy of transformation 

 
Covid19 Update

What a strange and difficult time we are living in!  We are all affected, some much more than others. 

I'm lucky that my studio is right upstairs. While I can't offer much besides carefully isolating myself, I want to contribute in some small way.  So while I continue to offer my art to the world I am supporting our community in three ways:

 I will contribute 25% of the purchase price of anything you buy from my shop to one of the following:

• Capital Area Food Bank, which leads the DC region's efforts to provide good healthy food to people struggling with hunger and food insecurity, ORleads our region’s efforts to provide good, healthy food to people struggling with hunger and food insecurity., o
• Circle Yoga, a small cooperative in my neighborhood that offers yoga, meditation, and other practices  

Alternatively, sometimes you just need a treat for yourself!   I will give 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. 


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
