About the Founder

Glass artist Andrew Iannazzi began glassblowing when he attended Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York. After working in numerous professional glassblowing facilities throughout the United States, Iannazzi decided to settle down in Massachusetts and open his own studio.

Whether it's his glass tiki mugs, bouquet vases, glass bowls, or any of his other pieces of art, Iannazzi draws his inspiration from historical Italian and Scandinavian design, as well as American popular imagery.

Iannazzi uses his objects to explore functionality, form, and iconic representations. Iannazzi uses off-hand blowing and traditional mold-blowing techniques. Andrew Iannazzi is also a founding member of Greater Boston Glassworks, which is expanding community access to the transformative art of glassmaking in the heart of Boston.
