A simple bucket of glass...
Hello! My name is Alexis Huron and I am the sole creator behind The Glass Bucket!
I live in the sunny state of Florida. USA.
The Glass Bucket all started with someone who took a chance on a stranger.
.
My glass story began in 2017 around Christmas. Sam, who is Canadian, spent his winters here in the sunny south. He is now like a grandfather to me and is the sweetest person anyone could ever know. He tapped me on the shoulder after a choir performance one night a few days before Christmas and asked me if I would like to learn how to work with stained glass. He had discovered by talking to my sister that I had always wanted to learn this art, and just wanted to share what he knew with me.
I immediately knew that I wanted to create a nativity. My grandparents had a glass nativity, and I always marveled over it!
He patiently shared with me the amazing gift of working with glass all through the winter months.
Pulling out my small glass Nativity is so special to me, as it was my very first stained glass project! Oh how I treasure these first stained glass pieces. As I fondly take each piece out of the bubble-wrap filled box, I see the lumpy faltering solder lines, and it makes me smile. I love this humble beginning. These pieces of glass are still just as magical to me now, as when I first soldered them up so many years ago. What sweet memories flood my heart!
It amazes me that just in the blink of an eye, someone can walk into your life and change it forever.
My story began at Christmas. My story began with a simple bucket of glass.

I now have a beautiful collection of stained glass and am largely inspired by nature around me. People refer to me as the “butterfly girl”! I absolutely love butterflies as is evidenced by all of the glass wings in my small Etsy shop!
Thank you so much for supporting me!
Warmest wishes,
Alexis
