Leaving Social Media, again

Written By Kim Joy

I left social media in mid 2024 and came back in late 2025, I left because I did not feel comfortable and was concerned about sharing my life and the work of my students with the whole wide world. I came back because “everyone” told me I needed to be there. Well I do not need to be there.

So I am leaving Instagram , Facebook and Bluesky on Friday July 31, 2026. I will be on LinkedIn as a professional stained glass artist and instructor. I will keep the Blog going and my Youtube Channel going.

I will be sharing my journey and my students work in a second edition of my Studio News, it will probably come out near the 15th of the month. If anyone wants to share their stained glass journey with my subscribers please feel free to reach out and I will include your information in the 2nd Edition (temporary name for the 2nd Studio News of the month, maybe it should be More Studio News!

Thank you to all that followed my social media platforms, I appreciate your support and feedback on those sites.
