Handmade fused glass molds, art & classes
Life's too short not to make beautiful things.
Choose your way in
Whether you're filling one of my molds, bringing home a one-of-a-kind piece, or making alongside me in the studio, it all comes back to the same thing: more beauty, more joy, more making.

Make it with me
Classes & getawaysAt the table in my cozy West Coast studio, or online from wherever your kiln is.
Hi, I'm Michelle
Michelle Frost Handmade Glass is more than a studio — it’s the next version of a life I’ve been building for a long time.
At 56, I’m not retiring, I’m restructuring. I design molds for other glass artists, teach online and in person, and make my own work in my Port Alberni studio, usually soundtracked by an 80s one-hit wonder playlist.
Whether you’re here to shop, take a class, or just reconnect with something you’ve been missing, you’re in the right place.
The studio opens for the next mold drop

Prep it. Fill it. Fire it.
Glass should be fun, not fussy. My approach is a little tough love: no overthinking and no fear of getting it wrong. Try it, fire it, and learn from what comes out of the kiln. If it isn't what you pictured, fire it again.
And you're not doing it alone. Share what you make and tag me @themichellefrost. I'll cheer you on.

1. Prep it
A few even coats of ZYP and your mold is ready for the kiln.
-
2. Fill it
Weigh your glass, layer your pieces and play with colour. Scraps and frit welcome.
-
3. Fire it
Load the kiln, fire it and see what you made. Then do it again.
