GLASSHOUSE
STUDIO Glasshouse Studio,
founded in 1972, is the oldest glassblowing studio in the Northwest and
continues to produce exquisite glass. In March 1998, the team of
artists/employees purchased the Studio bringing a wide variety of backgrounds
and philosophies to their work. Their commitments to their craft and each other
have created this opportunity to design and produce one of a kind and limited
production editions of fine handmade glass. They can be seen working in their
studio daily.
