What Makes It Uncommon

Sunlight, with its comforting rays like a warm embrace, symbolizes the enduring presence of a loved one long after they have passed. Its fleeting yet constant presence mirrors the ephemeral beauty of life and the eternal connection shared with those we hold dear. Scott Staats melds cremated remains into stunning suncatchers as a colorful, shining tribute to their memory.

  • After sending a teaspoon of your loved one's ashes to Scott's studio in the provided kit, the artist heats glass in a furnace until it reaches a molten state. He then adds a thin layer of the ashes to the material before returning it to the furnace and sculpting it into a suncatcher.
  • Choose from multiple colored designs to create a tribute that best represents your lost loved one.
  • Each design boasts a mesmerizing spiraling pattern that reflects and refracts light when lit.
  • Suncatchers come with a ribbon for easy hanging.
  • Measures approximately 5.5W x .25H.
  • Handblown in New Jersey.


NOTE: Once you order, we will send you an easy-to-use kit with very specific instructions and shipping materials (including a small tin, bag, and scoop) for sending a teaspoon of ashes to Scott's studio.

Scott Staats

Scott Saats was born in Princeton, New Jersey. Although he worked as a helper at a glass studio in high school, he decided to focus on business in college. After a detour managing a car-rental office, Scott rediscovered his passion for glasswork. Scott says his work "brings joy by creating beauty, invoking thoughts and memories, blending colors, and capturing the imagination." In 2022, he fulfilled his dream of owning a studio, where his wife and two young daughters often visit to cheer him on.
