RossiFlows & SummitGlass

Ross Pullen began blowing glass with his roommate, Joey Jackson, in their 400 square foot condominium located in Summit County, Colorado. They started with very little experience and huge amounts of determination. Ross moved his equipment into an actual studio space after a few complaints from the neighbors. He apprenticed under Erik Ratcliffe, an experienced glassblower commonly known in Colorado

as Ewok, for about five years. After Erik moved to Denver and Ross has been working with many other artists and on his own since. MISSION
