GlassKid TINY WORLD PENDANTS
Jerrad Santmyer, aka GlassKid, has been crushing the game with his miniature glass items – from bowls the size of a grain of rice to nature-scene-in-abottle pendants, including mushrooms, slugs and crystals throughout a vast and detailed forest.
Jerrad attended Salem Community College with a focus on glass art, working among some truly inspiring classmates in a massive studio. He draws inspiration from his childhood, where he had a passion for collecting miniature items. Jerrad noticed that people had a strong appreciation for miniature glass objects and wanted to fill that niche. Instead of going for his usual forte of making large pipes, he decided to make a tiny one instead. The rest is history.

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.
