The Glass Foundry
Artisan Glass Studio Transforming Recycled Materials into Unique Creations
Southern Gulf Islands
Established in 1996, The Glass Foundry is dedicated to sustainability by recycling approximately 12,000 pounds of scrap glass annually into handcrafted art. Visitors can explore the gallery's diverse selection of blown, cast, and fused glass items, all created on-site. The studio also offers classes and workshops for those interested in learning the art of glassmaking. By employing energy-efficient furnaces, The Glass Foundry minimizes its environmental footprint while producing beautiful, eco-conscious art.
