This week in glass
Don’t miss the upcoming Guild General Meeting on Sunday, May 17th at 3:30 pm. Guild member Milo Snyder will share his unique approach to cast glass, and how to use digital fabrication and casting techniques to create complex glass forms that shape light and atmosphere. The meeting is on Zoom, so it’s easy to join us from the comfort of your own home.
Beloved shop, community art hub, and Guild sponsor Melt Glass Art Supply in Vancouver, WA is looking for a new owner. See the letter below from owner SheriAnn Spurlock.
Dear Fellow Glass Professionals,
After fifteen incredible years of building, teaching, and growing with the glass community, I
have decided that it is time for me to move on to my next chapter. With a mix of pride and
nostalgia, I am reaching out to share that Melt Glass Art Supply is officially for sale.
As many of you know, Melt is more than just a retail space; it is a hub for education and a
home for artists. Over the last decade and a half, I have poured my heart into creating a
space where creativity thrives and high-quality supplies are accessible.
What I am looking for:
My primary goal is to find a successor who understands the value of the community we’ve
built. I am looking for a buyer who is ready to step into this role within the next year—
someone with the passion to maintain the high standard of service my customers expect
and the vision to lead the business into its next decade.
The Opportunity:
- A well-established brand with a loyal, 15-year customer base.
- A fully functional teaching studio and retail operation.
- A reputation for excellence within the regional and national glass community.
This is a “turn-key” opportunity for an artist or entrepreneur looking to make a significant
impact in the art glass world.
If you or someone you know might be the right fit to carry the torch at Melt Glass Art
Supply, please reach out to Anthony O’Neil at 1-206-226-3430 or Aoneil@tworld.com for
more information about the sale specifics and to sign an NDA, etc. You can also feel free to
contact me directly at 1-360-771-5617 or info@meltglass.com to arrange a tour of the shop
or to ask more industry-specific questions.
Thank you for being such an integral part of my journey over the last 15 years. I can’t wait
to see who will lead Melt into its next era.
Warmly,
SheriAnn Spurlock
OWNER, MELT GLASS ART SUPPLY
