Distinctive Glass Jewelry and Art
inspired by natural beauty and the joy of transformation

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?”

Covid19 Update -- Workshops are Back!
Cautiously, carefully, I am re-opening for workshops. I am offering Creative Plate Workshops for 2-3 people in the same family or the same "bubble." Precautions -- everyone will wear masks, and all tools and materials will be either sterilized or will be covered and isolated for at least 3 days. I hope to start jewelry workshops soon! Here is a description of the workshops.
Contact me at harrigan@joyofglass.com if you are interested. I can't wait to see you! The cost is $95 including all materials and firings, and I am located in DC near Chevy Chase Circle,

Great News -- Joy of Glass will be at the DC Downtown Holiday Market
I am excited to report that the DC Downtown Holiday Market will take place, and Joy of Glass will be there! There will be many precautions -- two blocks of F St. NW will be closed to traffic, booths will be limited, and only 250 people will be allowed in at one time, in one-way traffic.
The market runs from the weekend before Thanksgiving until Christmas eve; Joy of Glass will be there during the first half of the time period -- November 20th through December 6th, every day except Mondays (when the Market will be closed for cleaning).
(Of course this assumes things go well -- wear a mask everybody, and let's keep the curve going down!)
