James Stone Glass | Hot Glass, Art & Stories

Welcome to James Stone Glass — the world of hot glass, fire, breath, gravity, timing, and transformation.

I’m James Stone, a glass artist, teacher, author, and founder of Stone and Glass in Escondido, California. I’ve spent a lifetime working with molten glass, building studios and furnaces, creating public art, teaching students, and exploring what glass can teach us about creativity, discipline, risk, failure, and beauty.

On this channel, you’ll find live glassblowing, studio stories, art process videos, teaching moments, public art projects, behind-the-scenes looks at commissions, and conversations about surviving as an independent working artist.

Glass is not just an object at the end of the process. It is an artifact of an experience — heat, timing, breath, hands, attention, and memory.
