Randy Turner began blowing glass more than 20 years ago at a small arts & crafts facility in Stillwater. OK, when he & Joy were students at Oklahoma State University. This facility was subsidized by the Parks & Rec. division of the small town, ran on a shoestring, and the love dreams of those who taught learned there. It was a great place to begin, and he was hooked on the magic and endless possibilities of glass as an artistic medium.

In the years since then, opportunities to blow glass were occasional and precious: either trading labor for studio time or taking as many more classes as possible. The dream of a studio of their own grew in those years. It wasn’t until several years later that Randy decided to take what he learned and translate it into an art form. In 2007 Randy and Joy opened Larkfield Glass on their farm in Edgar County.
