Valentine's Pop Up Extended to 2nd Day!

We had such a beautiful day that we decided to add one more! We’ll be back with a Pop-Up for Valentine’s Day — February 14th — from 10–4 at New Hope Stained Glass.

Dan’s glass hearts are glowing in the windows, the mini bud vases are catching the light, Jill’s stained glass is stunning as always, and I’ll have a full collection of Dakota Moon pieces with me — perfect for gifting or choosing something meaningful for yourself.

If you didn’t make it last weekend, here’s your second chance!

New Hope Stained Glass & Glass Blowing Studio

3420 N. Sugan Road

New Hope, PA

10am–4pm

A portion of proceeds will again support Nova Bucks and Animal Alliance of New Jersey!

The Artists

Dan Burstein, a glass artisan based in New Hope, studied and worked at Bucks County Community College and continues to blow glass in his own New Hope studio. To deepen his practice, Burstein has trained at leading East Coast studios, including the Corning Museum of Glass, where he studied with renowned Murano maestro Davide Salvadore, as well as Janusz Pozniak and John Miller. His work explores functional forms using intricate murrini—an Italian glassmaking technique involving patterned glass canes revealed in cross-section—allowing for rich surface dimension and organic movement. Nature plays a central role in Burstein’s work, particularly in his Southwestern Landscape and Ocean Waves series, which translate land, sky, and water into painterly compositions in glass.

Jill Burstein holds a BFA from Washington University School of Fine Arts in St. Louis and creates all custom stained-glass designs for New Hope Glass. Her designs bring a thoughtful balance of structure, light, and artistry, complementing the studio’s blown glass work and grounding it in a strong design sensibility.

Diana Contine, founder of Dakota Moon Jewelry, has a rich background in fine art and design, with formal training spanning Eastern Michigan University, the American College of London, Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, and additional studies in California, the south of France, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. A state-juried member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen, Contine is also affiliated with the Pennsylvania Society of Goldsmiths and is a certified instructor with the PMC Guild. Known for her adventurous use of color and unexpected textures, Contine’s jewelry incorporates materials ranging from precious metals and gemstones to semi-precious beads and ethnic elements. Her work is deeply influenced by the Divine feminine, blending symbol, movement, and talismanic meaning into wearable art that reflects balance, beauty, and intention.

Art with Purpose

For the artists’, giving back is integral to the event. Dan and Jill Burstein selected NOVA for its vital work advocating for and assisting victims of crime and crisis within Bucks County. Contine chose Animal Alliance for its hands-on efforts supporting animals in need and fostering meaningful human-animal connections.

The Valentine’s Pop-Up offers a chance to meet the artists, explore their work, and support causes rooted in compassion—making it a meaningful way to celebrate the season.
