WindHorse Arts
Vinalhaven

Overview

From my studio shop on unceded Wabanaki land on Vinalhaven Island, Maine, I create handcrafted fused dichroic glass jewelry inspired by the colors and light of the Maine coast. Sea and stone, fog and forest, harbor water and winter sky find their way into luminous layers of kiln-fired glass.

I’m Alison Thibault, the artist and maker behind WindHorse Arts. Since 2000, I’ve cut, layered, and kiln-fired sheets of colored glass in small, limited runs, creating jewelry rich with color, depth, and light. My work is ultimately about connection: a compliment from a stranger, a conversation sparked by color, or a piece that becomes connected to a place, person, or memory.

My journey into glass began with a lost earring. I carried its mate around for months, trying to discover what it was made of so I could recreate it. I never did. Instead, the search led me to fused glass and to work that felt creative, meaningful, and sustainable for a lifetime.

More than twenty-five years later, I’m still exploring what happens when color, glass, heat, and light come together. Alongside jewelry, I create fused glass homewares and teach workshops that invite others into the process.

Visitors are welcome at my Vinalhaven studio shop, and collectors can follow my work online, including limited-edition Color Drops inspired by life on the coast of Maine.

Crafting color and creating connection, one piece at a time.
