About Snow Angel Glass

I thought I was on my way to becoming a professional journalist writing sex columns in Philadelphia when I went home to the Jersey Shore and saw glassblowing for the first time. The bug bit me hard and I had to learn how to do this magical craft, so I packed my dog and some sweaters and left to pursue my passion in the Green Mountains of Vermont. I did a brief stint at Church and Maple Studio in Burlington, trading labor for lessons. Eventually leaving to work for Alan Goldfarb Glass as an assistant. Aching to touch more glass every day I soon moved to the beautiful upper valley in Eastern Vermont to work for Simon Pierce Glass Factory (boot camp for glassblowers). Three years, and many burns later, I scored my dream job at Little River Hot Glass Studio in Stowe, where I’ve been working for the past fours years blowing their ornaments and assisting on stemware. Interacting with hot glass every day is heavenly and all I really want from my life.

Upon the requests of many friends I began creating ornamental glass wedding gifts. Each one is unique, reflecting the personalities of my loved ones on their special day as well as their wedding guests. Whimsical, fun and adorable, these balls brighten up any room as well as look lovely hanging from Christmas trees. Snow Angel Glass is an extension of both my love for my profession, my life, and bringing happiness to those I am creating them for.

Glassblowing brings me so much joy, teaches me something new every day and gives me such satisfaction knowing I can create objects for people to love whenever they set their eyes on them. They are my legacy long after I'm gone.
