Helios Fused Glass Studio was founded out of a deep passion for glass and kiln-forming. It 

serves as an education center, a source for materials and supplies, and a well-equipped 

working studio. More than that, it is a vibrant social hub for glass artists—a place for formal and 

informal information sharing. Led by Kristine Shafer and her talented team, Helios fosters 

enthusiasm for glass art by sharing knowledge, materials, and equipment with anyone looking to 

explore their creative spirit.

We look forward to having you stop by, say “hello”, and maybe peek in our kilns.
