​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
