Worcester Glassworks

Worcester Glassworks Maui‘s first glassblowing family Bill and Sally have been blowing glass for 50 years now. Bill and Sally Worcester are a husband and wife glassblowing team.

They have worked together in glass professionally since opening their first studio in Cannon Beach in 1972. Bill and Sally began their glass career in a glass co-op at “The Foundry” in Honolulu. As there were no teachers available to them at this time, they were pretty much a self-taught duo. In 1969, Bill started working with Hugh Jenkins, opening a shop and teaching classes supported by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. Sally was a student in their first class. In 1972, they opened a studio/gallery in Cannon Beach, Oregon. Their seven year old son, Michael started working with glass at this time, and has been blowing glass ever since. The call to return to Hawaii was very strong. They all returned to Maui and opened “Hot Island Glass” in Makawao in 1992. In 1994, Michael branched out on his own. He moved to Cambria, Ca. where he was a founding partner in the “Sunfire Gallery” and studio. Bill and Sally sold Hot Island Glass in 2000. They then built and opened a new Studio on their property in Kula, where they are blowing glass today. In October 2005, Michael and his wife Kelly, moved back to Maui as valued members of “Worcester Glassworks”. The Worcester Family invites you to visit their Studio and Gallery on your next visit to Maui. Open 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Most days.

☮️ for the Week
Underwater Droplets / Fish Scales by Michael Worcester
Battuto glass (Italian for beaten) is a highly specialized cold working technique where a glass blower uses grinding wheels to carve countless tiny overlapping faucets onto the surface of a finish piece of glass.
After Mike blew the piece, he spent an additional 3-4 days meticulously carving out the divots with his grinding wheel.
11” h x 4.5”
Our model, Nala Kalina, is giving us reference to the size. 🥰
Have a peaceful & beautiful week…..

Pink Coral by Michael Worcester

Inspiration:
Before changing careers & becoming an amazing glass blower, Bill Worcester was an oceanographer.
Bill and his partner descended down about 1,300 feet in a small submersible & became the first to see live pink coral off the Molokai channel. The last photo is the exact submersible now displayed at the Maui aquarium. Go check it out!

Happy & safe 4th of July to you all

☮️ for the Week
Ocean Tear Drop by Mike Worcester

Mike makes homemade clear frit to create the bubble pattern, then uses a spoon to paint it onto the hot glass - roughly 20 layers of color.

After the piece is annealed, Mike slices the top off with a diamond saw.
