Shaped by breath.Held by light.
Each piece born from a 2,000-degree gather — sand, breath, and gravity conspiring to make something that lasts centuries.
From furnace
to annealing kiln.

Words from those
who know glass.
"The Cinder Vessel series anchored our entire autumn exhibition. Collectors returned specifically to see the Forge pieces — nothing else in the show held light the same way."
Margot Ellison
Senior Curator, Meridian Glass Gallery, NYC
"I placed three Forge vessels in a penthouse on the 52nd floor. The way they hold the sunset — my client calls them the most expensive sunsets she owns."
Priya Natarajan
Principal Designer, Natarajan Interiors, Chicago
"I collect Murano, Lalique, and Forge. The provenance documentation alone sets this studio apart from every other contemporary glassblower I've worked with."
Theodore Wainwright III
Private Collector, Boston, MA
"We sourced the Aureate Chalice series for the lobby of our Tribeca development. Every viewing produces the same reaction: people stop mid-sentence."
Soo-Jin Park

"The studio visit changed everything I thought I understood about contemporary craft. Watching a gather become a vessel in under twenty minutes is humbling."
James Okafor
Acquisitions Editor, Craft Quarterly, London
"I've been collecting studio glass for thirty years. The Obsidian Orb series is the first work in a decade that made me rearrange my entire display wall."
Helena Voss
Independent Collector, Berlin, Germany
"Commissioned a bespoke dining set — twelve place settings, each piece unique. The restraint shown in keeping them cohesive without being identical is remarkable."
Rafael Monteiro
Interior Architect, Studio Monteiro, São Paulo
"Our annual glass prize shortlist always includes at least one Forge piece now. The technical execution at this scale is simply without peer in North America."
