Nestled atop Church Hill overlooking the James River, Historic St. John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia, stands as a timeless beacon of American history and spiritual heritage. Founded on land donated by William Byrd II and completed in 1741, this humble colonial structure has borne witness to pivotal moments that shaped the nation.

Since its founding in 2024 by Erin M. Cross, The Glass Ceiling has become a uniquely welcoming fixture in Richmond’s creative landscape. As an artist-run, beginner-friendly workshop, this vibrant studio is all about sparking curiosity, boosting confidence, and empowering people to shape something beautiful—“one material at a time”
