Global Glassworks

A new collaborative series with STS9 is dropping today at 2pm eastern time!

These marbles, pendants and full terp slurper sets are filled with my signature millefiori and DNA cane techniques & patterns and are packed full of hidden UV detail while utilizing a slice of “9” murrine that was custom made by Rocko Belloso.

Each item comes hand signed and numbered in a limited edition of 9 with a custom wooden box with artwork by Taylor Houston Morgan.
