Our Story
Where Passion Meets Glass — The Story of Conway Glass
More than three decades ago, Ed and Barb Streeter fell in love with the magic of molten glass — and they've never looked back. From their historic studio in the heart of Conway, South Carolina, they've spent 30+ years transforming raw materials into breathtaking blown-glass vessels, delicate ornaments, and luminous stained-glass windows, each one alive with color, light, and the unmistakable mark of human hands.
Conway Glass is a working art studio in every sense — a place where creativity meets craft every single day. Guests are welcome to experience it firsthand through our onsite stained glass and glassblowing workshops, or from anywhere in the world through our popular ARTyRV YouTube channel, where free stained glass lessons bring the studio right to your screen.
The story has only grown richer with time. Their son, Dr. Dennis Stevens, helped shape the business — refining its programming and elevating both the technical and creative foundations that make Conway Glass what it is today. Three years ago, their grandson James "Taylor" Stevens brought a new kind of energy to the hot shop. A Ph.D. graduate in mathematics, Taylor channels his precision and curiosity into every piece he touches — proving that the art of glass is as much science as it is soul.
Together, Ed, Barb, and Taylor carry a shared belief: that glass art is meant to be experienced, not just admired. Through Conway Glass and ARTyRV, they're inviting the world to discover the beauty, wonder, and pure joy of handcrafted glass — one glowing piece at a time.

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
