Made at the furnace
Every piece is made in-house, start to finish — gathered, blown or cast, and annealed under our own roof. No machine-pressing, no shortcuts, just careful work at the glory hole.
Handmade in Seoul · Seongsu-dong
A working glass studio
Hand-blown and cast glass made at the furnace in our Seongsu workshop — with small classes open to anyone who wants to work with molten glass and take home something they made.
Our story
Made at the furnace, by hand, in Seongsu
From the first gather of molten glass to the last day in the annealer, everything here is shaped by hand at the furnace.
We opened this studio in a quiet corner of Seongsu-dong because we wanted a place where glass could be made without hurry. Every vase, every tumbler, and every cast panel that leaves the studio has been shaped by hand at the furnace, from the first gather of molten glass to the slow days it spends cooling in the annealer. Nothing here is machine-pressed, and nothing leaves before it's right.
The workshop runs on a simple belief: working with your hands — even with something as demanding as hot glass — is good for you. It asks for your full attention, it rewards patience, and it leaves you with something honest and luminous at the end. That's true whether you've been blowing glass for twenty years or you're stepping up to the furnace for the very first time. So alongside our own work, we keep the doors open for small classes — because the studio feels most alive when it's full of people making.
Everything you see in the gallery below was made in this room, at this furnace, with materials we've chosen for their colour and clarity: clear and coloured batch that keeps a good weight in the hand, powdered and frit colour, and moulds carved for casting. Prices for finished pieces start around ₩60,000 for smaller work and vary with size, colour and technique — get in touch and we'll tell you what's currently available.
Portfolio
Selected work
Recent blown and kiln-cast work — vases, tumblers and lighting. No two gathers of glass ever cool into quite the same form.
Questions
Frequently asked
No. Most of our beginner classes assume no prior experience at all — a gaffer works right beside you at the furnace and walks you through every step. If you're unsure which class suits you, just mention it in the application and we'll point you in the right direction.
About the studio
What we make, and why
An honest description of how we work. Replace this with your own story — how you started, what techniques you love, and what visitors can expect.
Honest materials
Clear and coloured glass batch, powdered and frit colour, and hand-carved moulds, chosen for clarity and colour that hold up over the years. We tell you exactly how each piece was made.
Small classes
Groups stay small — four to six people — so everyone gets real time at the furnace with a gaffer beside them and plenty of one-to-one help.
Take it home
You leave every class with a piece you made yourself. Because hot glass has to cool slowly, finished work is ready for pickup a day or two after annealing.
Beginners welcome
Most of our classes assume no experience at all. If you've never held a blowpipe, an intro session is exactly where you should start.

Kind words
What our makers say
Words from students who found their footing at the torch and collectors who live with the glass daily.
I'd never held a blowpipe before and left the intro session with a tumbler I actually drink from every day. The gaffer never once made me feel rushed at the furnace.
The weekend paperweight workshop was the most absorbing afternoon I've had in months. Small group, real heat, and I walked out with two finished pieces.
I commissioned a set of coloured glasses as a gift and they were even better in person. You can feel that every one was blown by hand.
