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
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!
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: 5525 Nevada Ave NW Washington DC 20015 |

Be the Artist: Creative Glass Workshops
|
Have fun, refresh your spirit and create a glass plate or jewelry set at a Creative Glass Workshop. Or If you are tired of looking for the perfect THING for people who have everything, give a gift of experience instead! Get a group together to celebrate, or gift a friend with a shared experience that comes with beautiful artwork for you both. Details here.
Workshops will begin June 20th for family groups or 2-4 people My plan is to start my workshops the weekend of June 20th/21st with groups who are already sharing space. That way participants will only need to "distance" from me. All will wear masks and I will stay 6" from everyone. I will ensure all tools and glass are cleaned.
Contact me if you are interested in either a plate or jewelry workshop -- I am flexible on timing.
