       | The Short Bus Glass studio
Was created in the spring of 2008 by Glass artists Miranda and Joseph Skar. They built the studio into a fully functioning mid 80's short school bus they purchased specifically for the project. Miranda and Joe began learning the art back in 2001, when they met a pair of glass artists. They began to watch on a constant basis, studying and learning all the skills and processes involved with the complicated and art form.
Soon, Miranda began blowing glass, and learning a life long skill that continues to develop to this day. Miranda focuses on hollow glass techniques. Creating unique jars and other assorted vessels, has become her specialty. Miranda's work is one of a kind, and innovative. Joe began melting glass a couple of years after Miranda. He had a unique vision, and the drive to learn. Focusing on sculptural glass techniques, Joe has gone his own direction with the art. Creating excellent marbles, pendants, paperweights and a variety of other sculpture based glass art. Now married, Joe and Miranda share the love of glass art as well as the love for each other.
The Short Bus Glass studio is parked in the foothills of Mt. Baker in beautiful Bellingham Washington. The serene atmosphere, and clean mountain air provide inspiration and motivation for Joe and Miranda to continue making their excellent glass creations.
