About this Artist

Eric Bailey

"While working at the torch in my studio, I am constantly analyzing and pondering how I might use glass to re-create and interpret objects that intrigue me, whether they are man-made or found in nature. "

Eric Bailey personally creates each piece of his unique glass in his studio in Corvallis, Oregon. Using vibrant colors, he is highly influenced by mid-century design.

Bailey uses a torch and open flame to create his artwork. Commonly referred to as flameworking, this type of glassblowing uses a gas-fueled torch to melt rods and tubes of clear and colored glass. Once in the molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping, using a variety of tools and hand movements over the open flame.

The artist holds a B.F.A. from Oregon State University, where he studied ceramics. After graduating from OSU in 2000, Bailey went on to work as an apprentice for a nationally recognized glassblowing family business in Oregon, where he worked for the next seven years before setting out on his own.

It takes time to make great artwork. Most of the pieces we offer are created one at a time by the artist, and shipped directly to you from the artist’s studio.
