Long Island glass was established and created from a passion for the Underground art of functioning glass, which has held a stigma of illegitimacy due to the underground culture of glass pipe making However pipe makers early learned that making a product that has a retail value and practical application in a every day scenario would fuel experimentation imagination an application in which never would’ve been attempted without the resources and environment to do so. This has paved the way for techniques and innovations all across the board from one end of the spectrum to the other. Reaching industries From food production ,medical instruments, lighting ,fashions , Scientific development and research, architectural design and of course sculpture and many other forms of art. Our founders Brian Gonzalez and Joseph Pecoraro have been Vending glass art and doing live glassblowing demonstrations all across the island for well over a decade.
