Welcome to Hughes Glass Studio / Wildflower Sculptures in Glass
Tucked away in my studio near the Blue Ridge Parkway in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains,
I have made my blown glass wildflower sculptures for thirty-four years now.
This "basic" web site is intended to give you (my loyal and new customers) better access to my newer glass pieces.
Please visit our different glass galleries by clicking on the above photos. This home page lists our newest works and awards --(pg down).
