Hailing from the PNW, Ian Haapala is easily one of the most prominent up-and-coming glass artists in the game right now. Living in Washington state his entire life, he moved to Seattle with the motivation and inspiration to learn more about borosilicate and the art of pipe making. For the past five years, he has diligently spent his time blowing glass nearly every single day. With a primary focus on spiral cane millie, Haapala continues pushing himself to produce unique and innovative patterns. As featured, this style of rig named “quasi” showcases UV-reactive Orange Sunshine from Portland, Oregon’s Glass Alchemy. @HAAPSGLASS
