Mary Haycraft
Our instructor, Mary Haycraft, has called southern Indiana her home since 2001. She currently lives in Jeffersonville, Indiana where she works from her home-base glass studio with her cats Marsha & Tori and dog Ramey. Haycraft was drawn to stained glass at an early age sitting in a pew at church and watching the beautiful colors play off the floor from the stained-glass windows. She said “it was so peaceful and beautiful I knew I wanted to work with glass.”
