Riley Art Glass Studio, Hot Springs

We fell in love with the work of the Riley brothers back in 2013 on our first visit to Hot Springs. We have NEVER been disappoint with anything we've gotten from this shop. These guys are talented and put out work that we are VERY pleased to display in our home. On that first trip we bought 2 paperweights as decorations. We didn't make it back till 2019 and we purchased a platter for a wall in our living room that we simply couldn't find anything that was "right" for until we saw that platter. In 2021 I emailed asking for a vase for a special gift for my husband that had similar colors as the platter. Not only were they able to help, it was PERFECT! And I added an ornament to the order which we both love and are looking for a stand to display it year round. We just got home from Hot Springs (October 2022) and we're so disappointed that they were closed due to repairs. :( We're going for another trip in the next year or so to pick out our next piece. We want a sculpture this time but like the platter that's one to pick out in person so we can see it from all angles Hope the repairs go well guys and see you soon as we are able!

Loved it! The Riley's were awesome in conversation and explanation but needed more tools for artistic challenges and customer requests. I was hoping to buy a glass piece depiction of a paint brush piece for auction in our daughter's memory to an Art Schoolarships at Texarkana Texas High. Tonight is another auction or art selling of local artists, the goal is $2,000 per student of those that choose to pursue Art. Our daughter desired to be an Art Professor and teach here at her hometown. She died in a head-on collision by a truck hydroplaning and crossing the median. Virginia Grace Comer she just turned 17 years old. It may be the last year we do this. But the Riley's do a great job in what they do. If you don't see them soon, they may be going away as this type of work seems to be fading as well.
