So exciting to finally fire up the home kiln to get some fusing work done! Gonna be using this little kiln a lot in the coming days to move through some big projects! Also, this is just part one of the patterned plate. Gonna pick it back up in @pghglasscenter hot shop and put a curve on the edge.

Stopped in the middle of production for a little solo goblet. This was really fun to try out and mess around with.

It is officially First Friday, and we are so excited to have @zlayhew as our featured artist in the studio tonight!!
“Zachary Layhew is an American artist born and raised in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. His work currently revolves around a combination of glass blowing, cold working, and then a further reheating, manipulating, and assembling of these pieces. Zachary’s aesthetics are inspired by themes of the Baroque period and Cubism. While pulling from these influences, he highlights the beauty in glass through manipulation of line, pattern, color, depth and dimension with great consideration for the time each piece takes to create, allowing the highs and lows of life to influence details of the final piece.”
Come out to @eastfallsglassworks tonight at 6pm to see Zach’s live glassblowing demo!
Stay all night for glass raffles, fundraising, our drawing contest, complimentary snacks and drinks and more!!

At the Glass Art Society’s (GAS) 2025 conference, Trailblazing New Traditions, held in May in Arlington and Fort Worth, Texas, Zachary Layhew and Hoseok Youn presented a unique collaborative glassblowing demonstration where Youn’s Venetian fantasy vessels intersected with the baroque, cubist influences of Layhew’s practice. The artists shared their unique approaches to traditional techniques and designs, both makers transforming the context of tradition through the lens of their original personalities. The result was a figurative sculpture constructed from historical goblets and decorative stemware, combined with the line patterns of cane. Goblets and cane are common and popular in the glass tradition, but this demonstration showed the community a creative and innovative way to elevate those methods to new frontiers while paying respect to their origins.
