Maker Faire Glassy Day Studio
Glassy Day Studio
Glassy Day Studio gives new life to the waste material from the surfboard glassing process. Large chunks of resin, sourced from a local surfboard shaper, are cut into small blanks, which are then put on the lathe and turned into bangles, hoops, beads, and more. The material and way each design is handcrafted means no two pieces are ever the same. As a long-time surfer, using recycle surfboard resin to create unique pieces of wearable art for other water-loving women is a joy and privilege.

Hi, from Glassy Day Studio! I'm Erica, lover of Jesus, jewels, and surfing. The jewelry from this little studio is shaped from . It's packed with color, love, and purpose. As a long-time surfer, using the waste material from the board shaping process makes so much sense as I create pieces that other strong and water-loving women will wear. Why "Glassy Day"? The best days on the water are the ones with glassy, peeling waves. In Matthew 8, Jesus calms the storm, making it immediately glassy. The disciples were amazed and said, "Even the winds and the waves obey him!" 10% of every Glassy Day Studio purchase is donated to support kinship/relative care of foster children.
