The studio
Stafford At Glass is new to the New River Valley, but has been in business for over 12 years. The business began as Stafford Glass in northern Virginia. I moved back to the NRV and was able to locate a GREAT building located just of route 460 at mile marker 108 just around the corner from Newport. The studio has a gallery where the public is welcome to shop for truly one of a kind gifts ranging from ornaments and sun catchers to larger pieces like platters and bowls that are so beautiful most people use them as objects of art. The studio allows people with the opportunity to see glass being blown. Visits to the studio are free and open to the public, although its a good idea to call ahead to see if I will be blowing on the day you wish to visit (there are a few days each week where the furnace is being filled with the raw materials to make glass so it pays to call ahead if you are in the mood for a demo). The award winning glass is designed by owner and founder Parker Stafford whose work has been exhibited widely throughout the United States and abroad. Parker's work has appeared in catalogs and has been sold through finer galleries and at art fairs and festivals of fine handmade craft. Prices for the work range from $14.00 to over $1400.00. Parker's design work covers a broad spectrum. Parker is the designer of the well known and very popular Andromeda Geode (depicting a galaxy suspended in a stone like piece of glass), the Inscape Series, the Phoenix Series, and the Nautilus as well as others.
