So far, so straight-forward really. I started on the IVF journey in 2003, Elaine says. Everything looked beautiful at first. I had loads of eggs, they fertilised great, everything was going really well. But for some reason, I was just not getting pregnant.

These are the words Caroline Sheridan used to describe the experience at Sunspots Studios, which she co-owns with her husband Doug.
Located in Staunton, a brief 25-minute drive from JMU, Sunspots isnât a typical art gallery.Â
Its home in the Klotz Building offers a showroom filled with countless pieces of blown glass art to purchase, a large studio where the public can watch glassblowers work, as well as the opportunity for customers to blow their own ornaments or glass pumpkins, which the artist then helps them craft.
Sunspots has a long history. The Sheridans began the business in April 2000 and the glassblowing studio was incorporated in 2001. Now, Sunspots has five glassblowers on staff who work in the studio for live demonstrations; the studioâs open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with public glassblowing until 4 p.m.
