Glass Eye Studio, based in Seattle, is a manufacturing studio specializing in blown-glass objects produced in a hot-work setting. Founded in 1978 in Pike Place Market, it is one of the oldest privately owned hot shops in the United States and has trained numerous notable glass artists from the Pacific Northwest. After relocating to the Ballard neighborhood, the studio continues to produce refined glass artworks that emphasize form and color. The studio serves collectors and enthusiasts seeking handcrafted glass pieces and contributes to the regional glass art ecosystem through its ongoing production and artistic practice. In March 2020, Glass Eye Studio launched an online fundraiser to support local artists, with proceeds directed to Artist Trust’s emergency grant program.
