About

---

Hayley Ruland is a stained glass artist and engineer with a passion for blending creativity and technology. She earned her undergraduate degree in civil engineering with a touch of art from the University of Dayton and went on to receive her MS in environmental engineering from the University of Oklahoma. After moving to Pinedale, Wyoming in 2013, she fell in love with the mountains and the great outdoors, which continue to inspire her work with Stained Glass Sundays. Drawing from her engineering background, she explores innovative glass art techniques, including 3D designs, painting, glass upcycling, stained glass, mosaic making, kiln firing, to push the boundaries of traditional glass art. Her recent exploration of multimedia—using 3D printers, CNC machines, and laser cutters—led to the development of Paint By Glass, a DIY kit designed to bring the joy of glass art to people of all ages. With a focus on innovation, sustainability, and hands-on learning, she continues to inspire others through her art and educational initiatives.

Beyond her own creations, Hayley is dedicated to education and community engagement. She loves sharing the art of glassmaking through workshops and interactive experiences with others always seeking creative ways to make the craft accessible. She has experience working with large groups of people ranging from toddlers to seniors. She has taught glass classes at the Sublette County Library, Sublette BOCES, the Jackson Hole Art Association, at her studio, and more.
