From left, Colleen McElfresh, Lisa Pappas, and Stessy Jones open up the Bluebird Glass Studio, which does custom glasswork, after nearly two months of being closed in Stafford, Virginia on Friday, May 15, 2020. Owners McElfresh and Jones said that, though they were able to get about a quarter of the commissions they normally get, they had no retail sales during the state’s stay-at-home orders.
