Haaps Glass

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.

Chris Carlson

Beginning his glass blowing career in Los Angeles in 2001, Chris Carlson is well known for his perfectly executed sherlock pipes and basket weaving technique, amongst many other creations. Now

living in Oregon, Carlson pulls a flat ribbon of glass with beautiful stripes, then chips the glass into smaller squares. From there, he rearranges the glass to form incredibly intricate patterns. Carlson also offers unique crate and collector sets that often include matching rigs, dry pipes, pendants and jars. This 2021 Chip Collectors tube has 164 pieces and is a part of a big crate set in the collection of @steeloandrasta.
