Hand-blown glass art, made in Elora

Everything in our shop is made by hand at our Elora hotshop by Tim and Katherine McManus, and shipped across Canada. Sculptural artworks and one-of-a-kind pieces, memorial keepsakes with ashes worked into glass, etched corporate awards, studio goods, and gift cards for the experiences. Beautiful objects with a maker’s name on them, not mass-produced decor.

Made, not manufactured

Made by hand, not mass-produced

Search “glass art” and you’ll find plenty of factory decor. This isn’t that. Every piece is blown and shaped by Tim or Katherine at our own furnace in Elora, award-winning artists working here since 1999, so no two are the same and each one carries the marks of being made by a person. If you’ve seen something you’d like in a different size or colour, or want a piece made to commission, just ask.

Shipping, gifts and commissions

We pack every piece with care and ship across Canada. Tell us if you need something by a certain date and we’ll do our best.

Not sure what to choose? A gift card lets them pick, or gift an experience like One Hot Date.

Want a piece in a particular size or colour, or something made to order? Get in touch and we’ll talk it through.

Most pieces are made one at a time, so there is usually only one of each. When something sells it is gone, though we can often make you something similar.

Everything is on show in our Elora gallery, open year-round. Come and browse, or watch a piece being made.
