Pictured above is our first artist providing a curated collection for us — Melissa Misoda.

Melissa runs Misoda Glass Studio with her husband in West Seattle and teaches glassblowing at Sammamish High School in Bellevue, WA. Passionate about sharing this art form with younger generations, she believes that skill-based art helps students build confidence, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills, especially for those who don’t feel good at art. Melissa holds a BFA from Tyler School of Art and an MFA from Alfred University and has shown her work in galleries and museums nationwide.
