“Elias Studios is a hot glass studio located in the coastal village of Westport, Massachusetts. John and Jennie Elias, a husband and wife team, have worked together since 1991 to create a line of colorful, blown glass ornaments, vases and jewelry. Their specialty is unique color combinations. |

“We strive to create beautiful, meaningful expressions of what we see around us, in nature, in relationships. What drives us is the thrill of trying to capture a feeling and convey it, using color and form. Glass is the perfect medium, in that it can look completely different with a subtle change in light or perspective. And isn’t that true of almost any situation.”

“I have loved glass for many years (looks like candy!), and started working with glass in 2006. It's a lot of trial and error at first until you learn exactly what works -- and, more importantly, what doesn't. I enjoy creating fun and bright things that make people happy or laugh...." |
