Hello everyone, we have some updates for you concerning the gallery:
The cafe/shop will be closed Monday, June 15th-Saturday, June 20th and will reopen Monday, June 22nd.
Now for the not so fun part... We have made the ultimate decision to permanently close at the end of June. Our last day open will be June 30th.
Any and all support you can muster in these last few weeks will be greatly appreciated as we still have a lovely variety of glass and art pieces that still need a good home.
If you wish to personally donate for John's ongoing cancer treatment and medical expenses, we will link the Go Fund Me and Venmo/Paypal information in the comments below.

Again, a huge thank you, and love from the bottom of our hearts to our friends and community that have, and continue to support us through this incredibly difficult change. Every little bit helps and it is appreciated beyond words.

-Jane, John, and Mandy

Hello Everyone! Happy news, we are still open with lots of stock etched glass to share with y'all for gifts and enjoyment. So far, no sale of our building, therefore we are still operating the Cafe with our signature soups, and breakfasts. Please try to come in and check out our stock and our food. All the support your attention can aim in our direction will help keep us going until the time comes to sell the property. We hope that someone will be interested in it soon. We thank each and every person who has befriended and supported us in the past, and we hope that you will continue to come in and enjoy our space.
Thanks from Jane and John

We want to wish everyone a happy Easter, and send the hopes for a beautiful, bountiful spring season to all.
We will still be open until the property sells, except for the next 2 Saturdays, (Sorry, the town has not given us any Red Bud Trees this year, ) but do help us by coming in any other time.
We appreciate your past and future support, and we love that we have made so many good friends through our years of being here in Dayton.
Happy Spring to you all, from Me, John and Mandy.
Jane

Hi everyone, Mandy here! We will have a few closings in the next few weeks that we wanted to make you aware of:
CLOSED Saturday 4/4 for the Easter weekend so we can spend time with our families.
CLOSED Saturday 4/11 for Redbud as I will be setting up at the festival for my business, Purple Witch Teas.
And as always thank you guys so much for your continued support through this time. It means the world to all of us. 💜

Good Morning friends and friends who have become family over the many years we have had Braithwaite Studios here in Dayton. It has become time to close the Studio due to health reasons that make it impossible to continue the Glass Studio. We are "retiring" and selling the property we have held and loved for over 20 years.
It has been such an honor, and such a delight to share our space, our food, our glass art and painting with you all, as well as the joy of getting to know you all on a personal basis. I cannot begin to count the people who we have come to love through our interaction here in Dayton.
We are hoping to sell most/all of our stock of glass and other artwork to support our transition from the business to our "retirement". If you want to have some of what we have made, think of a gift you may want to give later in the year, Christmas, birthdays, or for your own selves to celebrate our relationship with you, please stop in and look around with that in mind. That kind of support will mean the world to us. We would love to know that pieces of our lives were a part of your lives.
Changes happen so we can move forward in our lives. That movement cannot happen unless we embrace the changes. We are hoping that our future will bring health and joy to us for many years to come. We will remember, with gratitude, the years we have spent here at Braithwaite Studios, and hope to stay in touch with our friends for a long time to come.

With love and gratitude,
Jane and John Braithwaite.

Hi Friends, We are planning to close, temporarily, at least this week, at 2pm, due to very slow traffic and obligations away from the shop. Thank you for being understanding of our needs, and we will be back in tip top shape soon. Thank you so much, Jane
