Something Beautiful Is Coming — and We're Already Getting Started

We have a confession to make: we've already been dreaming about October.

The colors for this year's new ornament collection have been ordered, and the moment those boxes arrive at the studio, the hot shop is going to come alive with some of the most luminous, jewel-toned glass we've ever worked with. Deep cranberry reds. Soft amber golds that catch the light like late-afternoon sun through a cathedral window. Rich forest greens that seem to glow from the inside out.

We can't wait to get them into the furnace and see what they become — and we can't wait for you to see them too.

Mark your calendar for October 15th: that's the day the new collection goes live, both on our website at conwayglass.com and right here in the studio gallery. Whether you're shopping for a gift, adding to your own collection, or just want to hold one of these pieces up to the light and feel that little bit of magic — it's worth the wait.

One more thing: October, November, and December glassblowing classes are filling up fast. If you've been thinking about coming in to blow your own ornament, don't wait — spots go quickly once the season kicks in. Head to conwayglass.com and book your class now before the dates you want are gone.

Free Pattern

Grab something we're giving away free right now: the Prairie Window Pattern, a small, beginner-friendly practice pattern that's the perfect starting point for anyone new to stained glass. It's not a full-size window project — think of it as a beautiful little practice piece designed to help you build skills and confidence before you tackle something bigger. It pairs beautifully with the Prairie Window Series already underway on our ARTyRV YouTube channel, where we're walking through the whole process step by step. Our ARTyRV community of 52,000+ subscribers has been asking for more in-depth stained glass content, and this series delivers exactly that — head over to the FREEBIES to grab the free pattern, then find the series on ARTyRV to watch it all come together.

Of course, nothing beats seeing it in person. The studio gallery is open every **Wednesday from 10 AM to 3 PM** right here in Conway, South Carolina. Come wander, ask questions, watch the work in progress, and take something handcrafted home with you. We'd love to see you.

Custom stained glass windows are our specialty.

There is something magical about the moment the furnace heats up and a glowing gather of molten glass begins to take shape. Whether you have been with us for years or you have been watching from your screen and thinking "I want to try that someday" — your someday is now.

We are opening up registration for workshops from August 2026 through March 2027, and seats are going fast.

What We Are Teaching This Season

Stained Glass Classes

From your very first cut to your finished panel glowing in the window, our stained glass workshops walk you through the Tiffany copper foil method and the Old English method step by step. All levels are absolutely welcome — no experience needed, just curiosity and a love of color. We have classes from beginner to advanced.

Glassblowing

Step into the hot shop and work beside Ed and Taylor at the furnace. You will gather molten glass, shape it with breath and motion, and leave with a one-of-a-kind piece you made with your own hands. Ornaments, bowls, flowers — the magic never gets old.

All class types book out quickly during peak season, so we always recommend registering early.
