The Glass Eye Studio design approach is that of "teamwork." Their team strives to create innovative, affordable and leading-edge glass designs while incorporating the visions of their clients, designers, sales staff, and glass blowers. Over sixty new designs are added to their line every six months, a result of their intense efforts to explore and expand upon century old glass forming techniques, in addition to utilizing suggestions gleaned from customer feedback.

The studio was founded on the belief that talented glass artists should have a place to work where their skills and creativity could be fully appreciated. Working with a variety of materials, the artists of Glass Eye Studio are revolutionary in their use of everything from recycled bottles and fine gold, to their signature ingredient - ash from the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helen's - to create their incredible pieces. Located in Seattle, Washington, Glass Eye Studio is through and through a product of its Northwestern environment. Cool temperatures moderate the tremendous heat produced by the glass blowing and this, combined with the draw of the renowned Pilchuck Glass School, have turned the Pacific Northwest into a Mecca for an incredibly diverse pool of glass artisans.
