THE GLASSBALL SILENT AUCTION IS LIVE!

Bid on your favorite glass centerpiece today! You now have the opportunity to view our exclusive collection of glassblown vases and place your bid before these pieces make their public debut at the GlassBall this Friday, June 5th.

This vibrant collection of glassblown vase centerpieces was influenced by the GlassRoots color palette with a rainbow of complementary hues and varied shapes. Each vase took on a life of its own from its conceptual beginnings as a sketch to the final production stage in our Hot Shop.

Which one are you taking home?

MOVING DAY!

Last night, we attended Newark Grounds: Benefit for Public Art + Celebration of Groundbreakers—honoring the leaders who champion and invest in Newark’s public art and creative spaces.

Project for Empty Space always unites the leading lights of our city and last night was no exception!

We were thrilled our handmade glass awards could play a role in honoring Groundbreakers:

⚡️Tai Cooper
⚡️Marcy De Pina
⚡️Chantal Fischzang

Also seen here: PES and GlassRoots artist, Patricia Arias-Reynolds, with Tai Cooper.

We're less than two weeks away from GlassBall 2026! For this year's silent auction, we're debuting a vibrant collection of glassblown vase centerpieces influenced by the GlassRoots color palette with a rainbow of complementary hues and varied shapes.

Each vase took on a life of its own from the conceptual beginnings - seen here in these expressive sketches - to the final production stage in our Hot Shop.

Excited to see the final pieces before the GlassBall on June 5th? Reply “FIRST BID” in the comments to be the first to see the complete collection of handblown vases later this week!
