About Caron Designs
Long before Caron Designs became a business, it began with curiosity. As a child, I loved turning bottle caps into pendants, experimenting with craft supplies, and creating alongside my mother.
In 1989, I officially launched Caron Designs, creating one-of-a-kind jewelry from my Connecticut studio. Over the years my work expanded to include fused glass, illustration, pottery, felted art, DIY craft kits, and creative workshops.
Today, Caron Designs is dedicated to helping people unplug, slow down, and rediscover the joy of creating. Whether through thoughtfully designed craft kits or hands-on workshops, my goal is to make creativity approachable, inspiring, and accessible to all ages.
Bringing color and creativity to all
Today, Caron Designs has grown far beyond that small apartment studio. I now work from a 700 sq. ft. studio filled with natural light, wall-to-wall worktables, glass kilns, and a large pottery kiln—a creative space my husband built for me and one I’m deeply grateful for.
When I’m not experimenting with new ideas, I’m teaching workshops, hosting small gatherings, or continuing to learn through my own creative practice.

Work with me
I offer a range of creative experiences for individuals, groups, and organizations:
• Private workshops in my Vermont studio
• Small group gatherings and creative events
• Custom classes for libraries, schools, and community organizations
• Collaborative projects and speaking opportunities
If you’re looking to bring a hands-on creative experience to your group or space, I’d love to connect.
Giving back
Giving back is just as important to me as creating. Whether it's supporting organizations, making donations to organizations like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, or sharing creativity through community workshops, I believe art has the power to connect, heal, and inspire.
