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.
