Maine Made Stackable Glasses

Each of these cups are hand blown and have the characteristics to show it. No two cups are the same and vary slightly in weight, opacity, and feel. These unique features are why we love them so much! 

About the artist Carmi Katsir:

I am the Co-founder of Waterfall Arts Glassworks, the only public access glass studio in Maine and one of the only studios in the world powered by waste vegetable oil. Beyond my own artwork, I love teaching and giving others the opportunity to try glassblowing.

Creating my glassware does not start with glass, it starts with a 3D printer and harvesting a cherry tree. I design my glasses using 3D modeling software and iterate the shape by printing versions with a 3D printer until I am satisfied. Then use a CNC router to carve that shape into a cherrywood blow mold. The glass is blown into the wood mold. This process allows me to create repeatable shapes and beautiful sets of glassware. It is a very involved process that makes my work distinct.

In designing my glassware I blend styles of the 60's and 70's glassware with a modern approach to function.
