Our Story
Sharing Our Passion for Glass at Conway Glass
For more than 30 years, Ed and Barb Streeter have shared their passion for glassmaking through their work at Conway Glass. Together, they create exquisite blown-glass vessels, intricate ornaments, and captivating stained-glass windows—each piece a fusion of craftsmanship, creativity, and color.
Conway Glass is a private art studio, but it is open to the public for onsite stained glass and glass-blowing workshops, as well as online stained glass lessons through its popular YouTube channel.
Three years ago, their grandson James “Taylor” Stevens, a 30-year-old Math Ph.D. graduate, joined the family studio. Taylor has become an integral part of the glassblowing team, bringing his precision, curiosity, and enthusiasm for the art of glass to every creation.
Together, Ed, Barb, and Taylor continue to share the beauty and wonder of glass art with their community and beyond. Conway Glass and ARTyRV collaborate to showcase the beauty and joy of handcrafted glass art.

Mayfair History
Conway Glass is housed in a 100-year-old brick building in the historic Mayfair neighborhood. Located at 708 12th Ave, the building was once the location for Creel Oil and Gas Company established c.1903.
“A complex of industrial buildings exists along the former railroad tracks at present-day Lakeside Drive. Businesses here included Stilley Plywood (now demolished), H.P. Little’s brick manufacturing plant (now demolished), Aberdeen Manufacturing Company, McIver-Shaw Lumber Company, Horry County Ice Company, and the Creel Oil and Gas Company c.1903 (now Conway Glass).” ~ South Carolina Department of Archives
“Like most communities in the post World War II era, Conway, South Carolina grew in all directions with new neighborhoods developing on its outskirts and new houses replacing many of the old in established areas. The largest new developments, Pineview and Mayfair, were sited on the northeast side of town along McKeithan Street, Fifteenth Court, Fifteenth Avenue, and Fourteenth Avenue and arose around 1950. A string of industrial complexes along the railroad tracks on Lakeside Drive spurred the development of these small workers’ cottages. The houses are generally one-story, frame construction and Minimal Traditional in style with a projecting front gable and little or no detailing. Approximately twenty-six homes in these neighborhoods are over sixty years old. Many others will reach this age in just a few years.” ~ South Carolina Department of Archives
