Our Stained Glass Workshop is June 6th & 7th. Want to learn about the Tiffany/Copper Foil Method of stained glass construction? Need help cutting glass? Our workshop will teach you all the techniques, tips, and tricks to cut, foil and solder your own suncatcher. All tools and materials are included to make your first project. This is a very popular class, so don’t delay, sign up before we fill up.

We strive to provide a safe and clean environment for our customers and students, now more than ever. In addition to providing hand sanitizer at the cash register and in the hot shop, we disinfect every day. The doors are open and providing fresh air and sunshine to our studios. That being said, if you feel unwell please give us a call; we’ll be happy to reschedule your class. We’ll do the same!

Did you know you can call in your order by phone and then pay your invoice online? That’s one less trip to glass shop and we’ll call you when your order is ready for pickup. Just call with your measurements Tuesday through Saturday for window glass, mirrors or tabletops to 843-248-3558. Or send your order to barb@conwayglass.com anytime.

Optical Confusion by The Streeters at ArtFields 2020

Optical Confusion is a fun glass sculpture installation that plays with the perception of space, reflection, and color. The Streeters have handcrafted 100 blown glass optic spheres. The spheres are hung from a ceiling of windows within a small room. A convex mirror reflects visitors, making them appear tiny within a space full of glass. Sometimes objects don’t appear as they really are.

ArtFields 2020

Optical Confusion is one of 400 works of art on display from artists across the Southeast. The art is on display throughout Lake City April 24 through May 2 for ArtFields, an annual art competition.

Ed & Barb Streeter are visual artists who share a passion for glass making. They have worked together as a glass blowing team for over 20 years.

The Streeters handcraft glass for commercial, residential and church installations. They also create original glass sculptures and small objects for sale in their gallery. They attended The Studio at Corning Museum of Glass and Penland School of Crafts. Their studios and gallery are housed in a restored historic building at 708 12th Ave. in Conway, SC.

“Glass is an amazing material to work with. We create each piece of blown glass through a process of layering and reheating the glass to 2100 degrees. The spontaneity of creating an object from molten glass is exhilarating. Our work explores textures and colors that create a sense of well being.”

— Barb Streeter
