Welcome to Local Honey Glass, where the art of glassblowing meets creativity, quality, and a touch of the extraordinary. Based in Akron, Ohio, our studio is a hub of inspiration, where artist Matthew Burton has been crafting exceptional glass artistry for over 15 years.

The Origin of Our Name:
Local Honey Glass draws its name from the mesmerizing nature of glass as it transforms and flows like honey when heated. Just like the golden, slow-moving liquid, glass requires a delicate touch and continuous motion to work with gravity and create stunning artistry.

Our Commitment to 'Local':
We firmly believe in the power of the local art movement and the importance of supporting our local economy. In a world where mass-produced, factory-made goods have become the norm, we've chosen a different path. We celebrate the unique character and craftsmanship of locally-made products, and our commitment to 'Local' extends beyond our name. It's a core value that defines who we are.

By choosing Local Honey Glass, you're not just acquiring glass art; you're investing in a movement that values individuality, creativity, and the vibrant spirit of local artists. We're proud to be part of the local arts community in Akron, Ohio, and we invite you to join us in supporting the artists and artisans who make our community thrive.

Our Story:
Founded with a passion for pushing the boundaries of glass as a medium, Local Honey Glass has become a name synonymous with innovation and artistic expression. Our journey began in Akron, a city known for its rich history and vibrant arts community, and actual birth place of the glass pipe in the 1970s. Here, in our very own flame working studio, we transform molten glass into mesmerizing works of art that capture the imagination.

Artistry in Every Piece:
At Local Honey Glass, each piece is more than just glass; it's a labor of love and an embodiment of creativity.
