A History of Glassblowing
All of our glassware and glass vessels are mouth-blown by artists in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The mouth-blowing technique is one that was brought to Mexico in the 1500s by Spanish settlers. Glass blowers use a tradition of putting a metal pipe up to their mouth and blowing through it onto a molten glass mass. As the glass maker blows, they begin to mold the piece by delicately turning it around with the pipe until it forms the design of choice. |
Who we work withIf you hold our pieces up to the sunlight and look through them, you will see hundreds of trapped bubbles, oftentimes a green hue, and sometimes a swirl of color through out the recycled glass. This is a normal and beautiful result of the process. Your purchase helps to support the preservation of heritage crafts. |
