A little bit of texture from one of our artists newest sculptural pieces to brighten up your weekend

Trying out some paperweight designs for the shop update. This design along with another will be appearing in the shop early next month! We’re getting close and so excited for our spring sale!!!

Loving the lines on this custom commission our artist made in the studio today, the soft glow it has in the light is to die for!

Colourful bubbles in the studio last week, with more colourful bubbles to come this week! Everyone’s life needs a bit of colourful glass in it!

First step with any new paddle is to burn it in so it doesn’t stick to your hot glass when you’re using it to flatten a section, and it’s oh so satisfying to do.

Our artist is working on some new forms in the shop for his series of carved sculptures. Excited to be back in the heat!

Back in the studio today and starting out with some lighting prototypes This beautiful bubble will be hand carved and have hardware installed to make a pendant light! Keep your eyes peeled for our lighting launch, coming soon with a variety of options for your space!

Finally back in the studio and that means it’s time to engrave! Today our artist was working on some pieces for his newest series by carefully carving all the white off the top half of this sphere, revealing the beautiful pink underneath!

Enjoy this video from a few months ago when the lights went off mid piece, the warm glow of the furnace and the glass is so mesmerizing, if only it was actually safe to work in the dark! Can’t wait to get back to work. #glass #glassblowing #dark #glassart #glow #handmade #oneofakind

So yesterday it was made official that the studio our artist is at will remain closed for yet another two weeks, bringing the total to eight for this lockdown. This situation has been quite hard on our business having just launched officially in only November, but we’re hopeful we’ll be able to be back at work in time for our planned spring sale and new product launch. In the meantime, enjoy this photo of our artist hard at work, hopefully something he’ll be able to get back to soon! Stay safe.

It’s all about perspective. Do your best to stay positive in these trying times, and remember to stay in touch with the people who matter! We’ll all get through this together. #glass #glassart #crystal #crystalball #perspective

Another sneak peak of some texture on the work we’re gearing up to release. While we’re stuck at home with the studio shut down, we’ve been focusing on perfecting a new photo setup, so all this new work will really wow you guys when you see it! February can’t come soon enough!

With the studio closed down, what better time for a #throwbackthursday to a time before all this stress, when we were stressed out about different things! Here’s a video from our artist’s time in college. This series, which focused heavily on texture (our favourite thing) is being further explored by Gordon now in his current body of work. #glass #glassblowing #glassart #oneofakind #texture #art #sculpture #engraving
