Martha's Vineyard Glassworks

About Martha's Vineyard Glassworks was founded by Andrew Magdanz, his wife Susan Shapiro, and Mark Weiner in 1992 and built on a piece of quintessential island farmland. The studio was intended to be a facility for glassblowers to work everyday, develop technical skills, create glasswork, and build a life around glassblowing. Martha's Vineyard Glassworks has built a reputation for high-quality original designs and has become a popular destination for glassworkers, tourists, artists, interior decorators, collectors, and trade workers alike. Our studio attracts those that seek the opportunity to develop valuable technical production skills in an environment that demands excellence. As a result, our glassblowing assistant positions are some of the most desirable jobs for experienced glass workers. All of the glass represented in our studio is handmade by artists that have dedicated years, if not decades, to the art of glassblowing. Each piece is individually hand blown without the use of finishing molds to achieve shape ; rather, the consistency seen in our work is the result of repetition and a strict attention to detail. We take pride in featuring such a diverse collection of glasswork from today's artistsincluding Robert Phillips, Andrew Magdanz, Mark Weiner, and Michiko Maekawa as well as Martha s Vineyard Glassworks signature work.
