glassybaby was founded in Seattle, Washington in 2001 by cancer survivor, Lee Rhodes. During chemotherapy, Lee met many patients who could not afford their basic needs during treatment. When Lee founded glassybaby, it was with the core mission of helping to alleviate these struggles.

The first glassybaby color was true white.

We employ over 60 glassblowers at our Seattle and Montana hot shops.

Depending on the complexity of each glassybaby, teams can consist of 3 to 6 glassblowers.

All of our names are chosen by our founder, Lee Rhodes. She draws inspiration from the color, season and experiences in her life. Her son, Mericos Rhodes, writes all of the poems.

Each glassybaby is hand-crafted by our team of skilled artisan glassblowers and is as unique as you and I. Every color is crafted with clear glass, color bar, and technique. However, artistic interpretation and environment may affect the finished product. As always glassybaby go through a thorough quality control process to ensure only the most perfectly imperfect make it into the world.

The world has evolved for all of us over the past year.

In order to continue production in alignment with protecting the artisans who craft each glassybaby, we had to change and adjust our hand-crafted production system. In addition to our internal production changes, the external forces have changed as well, resulting in cost increases of our materials, supplies and resources.

These changes and increases combined have made each unique glassybaby cost much more to make. After careful consideration, we re-evaluated our glassybaby pricing to better reflect the actual cost of producing each precious work of art. As always, every glassybaby gives.
