Working with Restoration Glass: Inside Wayne Cain’s Virginia Workshop

After a detour to Venice, the story returns to where the work actually happens.

In rural Fluvanna County, Wayne Cain has spent more than five decades refining his approach to working with restoration glass. His workshop, set inside a converted barn, reflects the same qualities required for the work itself: patience, focus and a deep connection to place.

That environment isn’t incidental. It shapes how the work gets done — just as much as the hands behind it.
