Molly Stone

Born in 1950 in Columbus, Ohio, Molly Stone studied at the Columbus College of Art, where she first discovered glass. She transferred to the University of California, Berkeley to pursue the craft, eventually receiving her B.A. in Art in 1975. She spent a year each at the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Washington (1977), the California College of Arts and Crafts (1978) and finally at the Orrefors Glassworks in Sweden (1979). Molly focuses on creating works that spark joy from the natural world, and is heavily inspired by the on-site gardens at her studio, Cohn-Stone Studios in Richmond, California.
