Glass by Blake is an awesome glassblower from Mobile, Alabama. Blake got into glass around 17 or 18 years old which really locked him into the glass world. Around the same time a friend hit him up and inquired about buying a used piece from Blake for around 10x what he purchased it for. Blake realized there was money to be made in the glass game and soon after started his own gallery. This first venture didn't go so well but Blake learned a lot about the industry and had gained a lot of experience. By this time most of Blakes friends were glassblowers and they offered to set up a spare torch for him and the rest is history.
Today Glass by Blake is known for his detailed implosions. Both solid and hollow Blake says he not only loved implosions of the solid and hollow varieties but he enjoys combining the two techniques. When asked how he learned so much Blake responded that although he's never taken a class he's learned much of what he knows from sharing studio space with some of the best artists in the game. His detailed flower work has been featured in many collabs and Blake tells us he's ramping up for a show in the future. To see more of Glass by Blake's work go check out his Instagram.
