New this year are unique styles of classic + shimmering dichroic pumpkins that have been a viral hit and fan favorite across the globe. Years of exploration into the physics of colored glasses have led us on a wonderful journey of curiosity and discovery. Difficult to master and expensive to use, the colors in our stunningly striped glass art are lush and vibrant combinations using a technique different from coloration in artworks we have created, these pieces are made using flat glass in a mosaic pattern over clear, blown glass.
Above is Violetta, our 2024 ornament of the year. This deep, rich violet color is accented with specs of silvery blue and the fine ribbing that convey both charming grace and subtle passion. Named after the nuanced and tragic heroine of Verdi’s opera, we love how she emotes elegance and refinement, really upping the beauty for decorating.
Make sure you mark your calendars to come and see the new pieces the team has been creating, JUST IN TIME to make your spirits bright! Remember our elves make each piece by hand, so they are available in limited quantities.

Since 1997, epiphany’s distinctive look has been created by artist and owner April Wagner. Wagner adds a contemporary twist to the traditional fazzoletto technique, which originated in the Venini factory of Murano, Italy, during the 1930s and was later popularized by Seattle glass artists. Her work is found in many public and private collections, including those of GM, Pfizer, Strategic Staffing Solutions, Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson.
epiphany studios is the only hot glass studio to receive WBENC certification.
