Molly Stone
The design of my work is influenced by my respect and awe of the Natural World, beauty of form and color, and the inner Spirit of the moment. I choose to look towards the positive, the beautiful, and the spiritual for inspiration. Nature is my mentor.
I love the process of making glass. I love the movement, the focus, and the timing that glass demands. My hands feel as though they are doing what comes naturally when I work with this material. Glass seems alive to me, hot or cold, alive and ever-changing with light and with beauty. I look forward to the glass everyday — anything is possible!
I hope that my work reflects Joy, as that is how I experience working with the glass, and what I find has great importance in life.
