Sagewood Glass handblown PV accessories coming soon! We want your input!

Are we there yet?

Isn't it time for us to see what we can put our juice in?

Beautiful work! Do you have any news on a time frame yet?

Are we there yet? Isn't it time for us to see what we can put our juice in?

We are shooting for launching at least some of our products in a couple of weeks. Thanks for patiently sticking with us, I assure you that when we finally do go live, it will have been worth the wait!

Besides for the jars, what other PV accessories do you have lined up for release? I'm guessing drip tips and carto tanks? I know a littleee bit about glass blowing, and have been an avid collector of functional glass art for several years now, but I'm wondering if there's a process for applying threading to glass, or if you'd have to add a SS or plastic insert that attaches via orings for the ability to add threading. If you could figure something out, I'd honestly kill for some worked tank sections for my iAtty, Odys, and UFS.

So far, we are planning on offering carto tanks, drip tips, juice jars and PV stands / displays. We will definitely be working on perfecting threaded tanks for the devices you mentioned as well. Thanks for your interest!

Sounds great misterkai! I've got my fingers crossed that you also release tanks for the Zenesis and Katana with matching drip tips. My head would literally explode if that ever happens.

Happy Monday! Here's something pretty to look at! It's a close up of the midsection of another goblet Mark made a while back.

Ooh, far more interested now I have seen some of Mark's work. I didn't imagine that either the craftmanship or the aesthetics would be so strong, let alone both.

He really is an amazing artist with years of training and experience. He and I have been best friends for 20 years and it's been so awesome to watch his progression as a glassblower. I am so happy to be collaborating with him in this exciting project!

I've visited some of the glass blowing workshops in Italy, Venice in particular, and some truly incredible work comes out of there. Mark is truly a master, I'd love to see more of his work.

I've posted pretty much all the pictures I have of his older work, but soon we'll be posting the pics of the GOOD stuff that you'll actually be able to purchase and enjoy with your PV!!! In the meantime, here's a close-up of a highly detailed reversal that was the centerpiece of a jar he made a couple years ago...

Holy god that work is beautiful!! I adore the fire/ice color combo, the bright, clean contrast has such a refreshing feel to it.
His work is reminiscent of that of the glassblower Cowboy, but each have their own distinct qualities that make them vastly different from one another at the same time.

I wasn't familiar with Cowboy, so I googled him. You are right, he and Mark do have a lot of similar qualities to their work! I wish I could post more pics of Mark's other pieces, but like Cowboy's work, many of them aren't appropriate for the ECF.

I had a feeling I'd seen marks work before!
Has he done any collabs with some of the big name blowers out there? Illadelph, Toro, or Roor for instance?

Not that I'm aware of. He has pretty much just done the solo thing and his work has remained mostly local around San Diego. You can probably find at least a piece or two of his in any SD smoke shop though.

I'm not sure if they have been sold or not, but I know he had some pieces in Da Glassworks and in The Funky Monkey on Garnet Avenue a while back.

 

[Mainspring]

thanks Kai. I'll check that out.

Not fair! I can't window shop San Diego from here

Don't worry! Soon enough you will have some of his art in your hands and on your PV!

 

[yiddleboge6]

Does that mean we're closer to an unveiling?

Main - Take some pix if you get to OB and find anything. I don't know when I'll have time to get down there, but not until next weekend for sure. Haven't been to The Black for years.......
