Casey’s Experience

Melanie Miller

Melanie Miller

Growing up within a farming family, Melanie’s formal education led her down the path of horticulture and agricultural studies. Travel during breaks had her wandering art gallery halls and forgotten towns where she discovered her passion for art in all its forms and mediums. On the East Coast island of Nantucket she discovered fiber art and 2D design. But it wasn’t until she found herself in the South Pacific as a horticulturist on Maui that she decided to pursue her true passion for the visual arts. Upon returning from the islands to Louisville, KY, glass took main stage for her design passion. In 2009, Melanie took up the creative reins at Hyland Glass as Creative Director and equal partner.

Glass Demonstrations

Why have an event at a glass studio without a glassblowing demo? Entertain your guests with live arts in motion glassblowing. One artist works and another one narrates the process, explains what the equipment does, and gives a quick history of the art form. Guests can come and go (with cocktails and/or appetizers) in the hot shop as they please. Perfect for a cocktail hour or after-dinner entertainment. Price: $225/hour.

Birthdays! Team Building! Business Outing! Family Reunion! Holiday Party!

Glass Ceremonies: A Unique Approach on the Traditional Unity Ceremony

Love and glass go hand in hand: it’s hot, infinitely available, and sometimes we may get burned before we get it just right. Hyland Glass is here to step your ceremony up a notch by incorporating glass! Much like a sand ceremony, couples use colored glass crystals called frit in place of sand for their unity ceremony during their wedding. Couples customize their ceremony by hand selecting their own color palette. After combining the frit during their wedding ceremony, couples may bring or mail their frit to Hyland Glass for our glass artists to create a beautiful custom piece from their choosing to commemorate their ceremony. Glass bowls, vases, and our custom Unity sculpture are top requests. You may also choose to add on ornaments, paperweights, or glass medallion pendants as gifts to give to your family and friends. Pricing for What’s Included 1. Colored glass (called frit) is $75 for each color. Most couples order two to three colors. We will send approximately 200 grams of each color. 2. Glass art: Vase or bowl, $225. Unity sculpture, $250.  If you are hosting your reception at Hyland Glass, your piece can be created during your reception if you elect to have a glass-blowing demonstration with us. 3.
