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!
