Whitt, owner and designer of Sweetwater Studios located in Moselle, has been making and designing beautiful stained glass panels for churches, commercial establishments and residential homes for over twenty-five years. His work can be seen in several churches and homes throughout Jones County and the state of Mississippi, as well as surrounding states. In addition, he and his son, Ian Whitt, are also skillful glassblowers.
