Glass Blower

Trades

Glass Blowers shape molten glass at 1100°C into functional ware, decorative objects, and fine-art sculpture using breath, iron pipes (blowpipes), punties, jacks, paddles, and marvers. In India the career splits sharply: the Firozabad cluster in Uttar Pradesh employs tens of thousands in industrial glass production — bangles, tumblers, chandeliers, and bangles for the domestic market — while a small but growing studio-glass movement centred on Kolkata (Sisir Sahana), Delhi (Vibhor Sogani Studio), and Pondicherry Glass Studio is producing internationally exhibited art glass. The Studio Glass Movement ethos — treating blown glass as fine art equal to painting or ceramics — arrived in India 30 years after Pilchuck Glass School (1971, Washington) and Penland School of Craft popularised it in the US, but Indian practitioners are now showing at galleries in London, New York, and Singapore. Entry can be through Firozabad family apprenticeship or through rare institutional routes like NIFT craft residencies, Crafts Council of India programmes, or Pilchuck/Penland short courses abroad.
