The Art of Fire and Form: Glass Blowing in Brattleboro with Randi Solin Glass Tucked into the creative heartbeat of Brattleboro, Vermont, our studio at Randi Solin Glass is where molten color meets intentional form—where art isn't just made, but experienced.

Our pieces reflect this philosophy, with each vessel shaped not only by fire but also by imagination. Where Craft Meets Contemporary Fine Art We don’t just make glass—we sculpt stories.

"My OBT: What if you spent every day looking for One Beautiful Thing?"
From their site: "10/20/20: I recently discovered the magnificent glass vessels by Randi Solin. A master of the contemporary American art glass movement, Solin also incorporates elements of Venetian glass work in her striking pieces.
