Artisans In Residence

Glass Artisans Studio & Gallery is located on the beautiful North shore of the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. We invite glass artists from all over to come and rent the Flameworking Studio, Casting & Cold Working Studio and Glass Blowing Studio for one or two weeks during those seasons. It is an adventure to our oasis by the sea for the artist, and a treat for our visitors of the gallery. While artisans create new work in the Hot Shop, visitors can watch them work their magic with glass. We have hosted over 30 artists over the years. Scroll through a few artists below whose work we have in the Gallery for sale.
