The Glass Artist Journey
My name is Melissa Stone, and my relationship with glass is… complicated. We first met in 2010, and at the time, I didn’t think we were a match. But some passions have a way of circling back.
In 2018, while looking for a way to stay home and raise my daughter, I picked up the torch again. This time, everything clicked. What started as a small project quickly grew into a full-scale studio—multiple kilns, various torches, and a deep dive into the endless possibilities of the medium. While life eventually pulled me back into the traditional workforce, my studio remains my sanctuary. I continue to explore diverse glass types and techniques, creating unique pieces that balance technical precision with the joy of the craft.
