Welcome to the world of Tisbury and James’ Glass Art - Our flameworking process begins with high-quality borosilicate ( Pyrex) glass rods, which we manipulate using a propane and oxygen torch to create intricate, detailed designs over 2000 degrees.
Through precise heating and shaping techniques, we transform the glass into unique, three-dimensional pieces that are as beautiful as they are durable. We make a collection of jewelry and sculpture pieces that show the creativity of handmade glass art which is inspired by living in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
