Sunspots Studio in Staunton, VA - although Sunspots does not carry my work on a regular basis, it is a fantastic hot glass studio where the the Virginia Hot Glass Festival is held every year. I have done this show now for two years and will try to keep doing it. But these folks are there every day with a hot shop that does demos all the time. If you are in Western Virginia, this is a great place to spend some time!
Show Schedule for 2008
-- so far. Please keep checking as more shows will be added as I get positive responses from various juries. Some of the shows are ones I do every year but the applications aren't all processed yet - another reason to check back. And Beth and I are looking into some new things!
