excellence in art glass, crystal stemware, barware, and

Corrie 
hope
their artistic impressions will provide collectors years of
enjoyment and become family heirlooms appreciated and passed on
from generation to generation. At the beginning 
of their
careers, Guy and Leanne envisioned a company that brought together
the highest creativity with excellence in quality. They hoped,
through their artistic interpretations, to reach a broad audience
that ultimately would share their passion for glass blowing. That
dream has been realized through Union Street Glass, Inc., where
they have continued to stretch the boundaries of tradition. The
husband and wife team have operated their studio since 1980. Guy Corrie is the designer and glassblower. He has won numerous awards
for his designs and has been collected by the Corning Museum of
Glass. Leanne Corrie oversees all business aspects of the studio.
Together they have forged a commitment to producing handcrafted
art glass and crystal that is visually stunning, delightful to the
touch, exceptionally well balanced and designed.

Deborah
Buress has been working with fused glass for 5 years although
glass fusing dates back to the ancient Egyptians and the methods
haven’t changed much in 5000 years. Every glass piece is made by
layering at least two pieces of glass and then put in a kiln and
heated at temperatures 
of about
1500 degrees Fahrenheit at which point the pieces fuse together
and become one piece. The glass is then cooled to room
temperature. Then the glass is put into a mold and refired in the
kiln to form the desired shape. You will notice little bubbles in
the glass. These occur as the glass literally begins to boil when
it is fused. 
They look
like fish bubbles in the ocean. Due to this process, none of the
pieces are ever the same. Deborah works in glass while she is in
Martha’s Vineyard and Delray Beach. She uses a beautiful palette
of colors reminiscent of the oceans she lives near. All of her
pieces are signed and dated. The tableware can be put in the
dishwasher or microwave and are very user friendly. 
Mary
Mullaney and Ralph Mossman are a husband/wife duo collaborating as
equal partners since 1985 in the production of each piece of glass
art.
