Melissa Schmidt’s glass studio is in her backyard in Saint Louis, Missouri. Raised in Hawaii and San Francisco she has always felt at home in the artistic world. She is prolific in her glass jewelry.

She is known for her whimsical feminine aesthetic and soft palette. Her incorporation of unusual materials such as 35 mm slide film, papers and natural materials within the glass bubbles are just the tip of her vast mixed medium artillery. Her pieces are built to last and as strong as they are beautiful.
