Made with love in Akron, Ohio.
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.
