Cameron Reed is a glass master based in the US that specializes in line work.
Originally started blowing beautiful glasses and other pieces, but over time he brought his expertise and refined pattern line work into blowing functional art pieces such as bongs and wizard pipes.
His glasswork is characterized by classic shapes covered in pristine line work and clean patterns, a beautiful addition to any collection.
Devin Somerville’s high-end art pipes begin with custom millies that are stacked and assembled into mind-blowing and unforgettable creatures. Also known as Crunklestein, the artist’s take on the ancient Italian technique of millefiore has become his aesthetic signature. Once a process amongst many used by Crunklestein, when friends, fans, and fellow artists came face to face with his colourful, ornate millie pipes, the artist was encouraged to make all of his work using the chip stack technique he developed.
Somerville, aka Cap’n Crunk Glass, resides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and produces a variety of dab rig styles, specializing in the mini or tiny tube design. His small dab rigs usually include mini encased millies throughout the neck and body of the piece, while his full-sized incredibly detailed and realistic sculpted oil rigs showcase his unlimited range of talent and creativity.

Doug Zolbert’s work is characterized by his use of encalmo, classically known as Incalmo, which is a Venetian glass blowing technique that involves fusing different glass sections. Encalmo pieces are traditionally worked with several bands of color, stacked on top of each other to create a uniquely heady aesthetic.
Zolbert’s use of colour is also remarkable, his palettes are often a triad or complementary combination of primary colours, arranged in beautiful patterns of thick line work, sometimes accompanied by opal incrustations.
His pieces have an organic feel because of the use of curves in the designs, which combined with the encalmo technique and the colour palettes result in unique pieces with an almost primal feel to them.
