4:30p-6:00p // location: Sunspots Studio, 202 S Lewis St, Staunton, VA

Jennifer Hunt is a glass artist whose work explores the intersection of light, color, and form through kiln-formed and fused glass. Drawing inspiration from natural patterns, shifting landscapes, and the expressive potential of transparency, her pieces balance precision with organic movement.

Her practice reflects a deep curiosity for the natural world through process—layering and manipulating glass to create dimensional works that change with their environment. Whether functional or sculptural, each piece invites interaction with light, revealing new depth and detail over time.

Jennifer also specializes in creating deeply meaningful memorial pieces, incorporating cremation ash into her glasswork. These works transform memory into lasting, luminous forms—offering families a tangible and beautiful way to honor loved ones.

Based in Virginia, Jennifer’s work is rooted in both craftsmanship and experimentation, continually evolving as she pushes the boundaries of glass as a medium.

Caroline and Douglas Sheridan are the owwners and artists behind Sunspots Studios, where they transform molten glass into vibrant, hand-blown works while inviting the public into the creative process through live demonstrations and hands-on experiences.

Their journey is one of true reinvention. Sunspots began as a copper manufacturing business before evolving into a glassblowing studio and creative destination in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Today, their work blends technical mastery with playful design, while their studio serves as a hub for creativity, education, and community engagement.

During this session they will share their reinvention story while presenting live glassblowing demonstrations in collaboration with Jennifer Hunt, offering a dynamic look at process, evolution, and craft in action.
