“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. John uses his many years of glassblowing experience to create excitement in each piece. He patterns the glass using small chips of colored glass called “frit” and each one is individually blown using traditional glass techniques. The frit flows across the surface creating movement and rhythms, making each piece unique and allowing the viewer to find their own personal imagery within.
