On the flame since 2014, Shayla (AKA Windstar Glass) has said that since an early age, she’s had a love for everything art-related. Shayla was 23 when she first discovered lampworking where she would soon after leave college and go to work at Starphyre Creations creating pipes. After working at the production studio for nearly a year, she would continue to work in functional glass art from her home in Pueblo, Colorado. She really enjoys implementing cool characters and other unique designs in her dab rig designs. And although her work speaks for itself, she has received a slew of honors over her career. For example, her Thunderbird wind chime placed second in the 2020 Sonoran Glass School Flame off, and her Ganesh piece placed first at the 2019 FAM Glass Show.
