GlassRoots is pleased to introduce you to our 2025 GlassRoots | Peters Valley Fellows! Join us in welcoming (L to R) Sean Jones, Jamesia Griffin, Liz Henderson, ShaNoah Rutledge, Orchid Sylvester and Cezar Regala.

Selected from a pool of dozens of applicants, this talented group has been immersed in all things glass for the past two weeks ranging from stained glass and glassblowing to fusing and sandblasting. They start most mornings in professional development workshops led by various industry professionals and are in the process of meeting our community partners.

It’s been a pleasure getting to know this year’s cohort, and we can’t wait to see what they create this summer with our partners at Peters Valley School of Craft!

Current status: basking in the glow of last Thursday’s GlassBall gala and last night’s Tony Awards. 💫

As Hamilton creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, reunited with the original cast at last night’s ceremony, we felt an even deeper appreciation of our work and our studio artists.

Just last month, our team collaborated with The Town Hall to create The Town Hall Vanguard Award for Miranda who was honored at their Spring Shout Benefit Concert on May 19th! In addition to this bespoke award, we also made fellow honoree Tom Wirtshafter’s award by hand right here in downtown .
