rooted in tradition,
elevated design
why gathered?
We love what we do, and it shows. We take pride in creating glass in the home of the American Studio Glass Movement. Our goal as glass artists is to rethink the possibilities of glass in public spaces. Our approach uses both traditional and innovative techniques.
innovative design
Our approach to design is pure and timeless. By highlighting glass's
inherent qualities we encourage the viewer to rethink and discover their own possibilities.
collaboration
Work directly with us - the artist, the designer, the fabricators, the installers. Open communication allows us to bring your vision to fruition.
the proof
From our own backyard here in Toledo, Ohio to the seven seas, we take pride in each work of art.

Textures and shapes within the glass panel allow viewers to contemplate and reflect themselves.
