Just two miles south of the Artist’s Co-Op located in the beautiful Webber Canyon you will find the studio of Jay Johnson. Jay received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from California State University at Fullerton in 1976. Jay's studies were in ceramics.
Jay owned A Stones Throw Pottery in southern California at his commercial pottery for many years. Selling to his partner, the late Eric McKnight and their then apprentice, he moved to Lake Tahoe Nevada and worked in the gaming industry in both Nevada and Colorado for over 28 years. While in Tahoe, Jay became known for his traditional pipestone and soapstone pipes. Carved and inked, his pipes represented carved Buttes, Hills, Lakes and other landscapes. Moving to Colorado with the casino, Jay began working in stained glass in 1998 and later in fused glass. Jay currently sells nation wide to over 44 states from lalusstainedglass.com and bighanddesigns.com. Sculpting, painting, and generally creating on a regular basis, Jay's art is his passion and his profession. In addition to his glass, a line of jewelry has been added to his products.

Dick Young - Stained Glass and Jewelry
Justin Richard (Dick) Young
In 1979, Dick’s wife, Kathy, wanted a stained glass bathroom window in their home in Houston, Texas. Kathy purchased a set of tools and a series of lessons as a birthday present for Dick. Kathy got her window and Dick discovered a hobby that was a challenge and fun. Stained glass became a source of gifts for friends and family. Soon people were asking Dick to make a jewelry box for their special person and that was the beginning of Justin’s Glass Art. In 1988, the Young’s moved to Mancos as teachers in the Mancos School District. After retiring from teaching, Dick took on glass as an avocation. He expanded his portfolio to include jewelry boxes, lampshades, kaleidoscopes, snowflakes and window hangings. Several years ago he began making dichroic jewelry. Dick also has taught glass classes at school, at a local craft store, and in his home. He does custom windows, sidelights and doors.
