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.
