Shaping Light and Color: The Art of Glass Blowing Sculptures at Randi Solin Glass
At Randi Solin Glass, we don't just create art—we craft expressions of light, movement, and emotion, frozen in the timeless medium of blown glass. While many associate glassblowing with functional wares like bowls or vases, our passion lies in transforming molten silica into sculptural forms that defy expectation and ignite imagination.
We specialize in sculptural works that blur the boundaries between form and feeling, offering collectors and art lovers something truly singular: a dance of color, air, and fire, captured in stillness.
A Medium in Motion
Unlike most sculptural materials—stone, bronze, or clay—glass is fluid and alive during the creation process. Every sculpture we craft begins in a furnace at over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. In those fleeting moments when the glass is molten, it responds to gravity, breath, and gesture.
We choreograph every movement with intense focus and improvisation, allowing the material itself to influence form. Our sculptures are as much about the physical act of creation as they are about the final piece—each swirl of color, bubble, or curvature is a record of action, suspended in time.
We view this process as a kind of collaboration—with fire, air, and material. It's not about dominance over glass but rather working in harmony with its temperament. This is where the sculptural form truly comes alive.
Pushing Beyond Function
At Randi Solin Glass, we’re not interested in simply making “pretty objects.” Our sculptures are designed to provoke thought and stir emotion. Some pieces are inspired by the natural world—windswept landscapes, the pulse of the ocean, or the quiet structure of a shell. Others are entirely abstract, emphasizing internal motion and chromatic interplay.
We use layering techniques developed over decades, combining precious metals like silver and gold leaf with bold colors and transparent overlays. The result is a three-dimensional painting in glass—one that changes as light shifts throughout the day.
Color is central to our voice. We handcraft our palettes from raw minerals and experiment with opacity, reflectivity, and refraction to draw the viewer into the work. Each sculpture is more than an object—it’s a sensory event.
Our Signature Forms
While every sculpture we create is one-of-a-kind, certain forms have become synonymous with our studio. Our Vessel Sculptures, for example, are not meant to contain anything but light and presence. They feature sweeping asymmetries and vibrant veining that mimic landscapes or auroras.
Another signature series is our Totem Works—stacked, free-blown glass elements that suggest movement, memory, and lineage. These pieces often incorporate intentional distortions or optical tricks to challenge how the eye perceives weight and balance. By assembling forms in unexpected ways, we encourage viewers to walk around each piece and see something different from every angle.
Commissioned Sculptures: Your Vision in Glass
We also work closely with collectors, interior designers, and institutions to develop custom glass sculptures that respond to specific spaces and ideas. Whether for a dramatic residential focal point or a large-scale installation in a public atrium, we bring our full creative and technical resources to every collaboration. Our custom sculptures are often inspired by the environment they inhabit—pulling color from a room’s design or echoing the rhythm of surrounding architecture.
We view commissions as deeply personal. They allow us to translate a client’s narrative into glass, creating work that is both universal and uniquely theirs.
Why Glass Matters
In a world dominated by digital and mass-produced objects, hand-blown glass sculpture reasserts the value of the handmade, the tactile, and the authentic. Each piece we make contains hours of physical labor, spontaneous decisions, and a kind of intimate, visual storytelling. No two sculptures are ever alike, and that is precisely the point.
When you invest in a glass sculpture from Randi Solin Glass, you are not just acquiring an object—you are collecting a moment of intensity, a physical expression of energy and breath, permanently preserved.
We invite you to explore this ever-evolving dialogue between material and meaning. Come visit our studio or browse our collections online to see how we are redefining what glass sculpture can be—one form, one fire, one story at a
