About our new American Artists and Glass Houses:
Art of Fire: Located in a renovated dairy barn in Montgomery, Maryland, the five different glass blowers at Art of Fire perform each step of the glass making process themselves. No molds are used in their free blown, off-hand technique. Each unique piece is a product of years of experience and expertise.
Vitrix Glass: Passionate about bringing craft and design together to give each piece its own character, master glassblower Thomas P. Kelly trained under Thomas Buechner III in Corning, New York. The work of Vitrix Glass Studio has been collected, exhibited and published internationally and can be found in galleries across the U.S., Europe, and Japan.
Luke Adams Glass: Luke Adams is a studio glass artist working in Norwood, Massachusetts. L.A. Glass is known for its vivid, wild colors and simple, beautiful shapes.
Engler Glass: Each Engler piece is designed and made by Dylan and Amy Engler in Columbus, Ohio using flame working, kiln forming and cold working techniques. In the past year Dylan and Amy have won six awards for their newest work including first place and best in show.
Hudson Beach: Established in 1987 in an old ice factory, Hudson Beach glass is hand cast with a characteristic chill wrinkle. Hudson Beach Glass is made with found-object molds and textured materials. Available in either a semi-translucent or opaque finish, Hudson Beach's glass comes in a variety of colors inspired by precious stones.
Infinity Art Glass: The perfect marriage of both art and science, Scott Hartley's intricate blown glass is made from a furnace that runs 24 hours a day, 365 days per year near Kansas City, Missouri. Scott pours himself into his work and makes designs of all colors and sizes in paperweights, sculptures, fish, and much more.
