These are some pictures I snagged the two separate days I was there.   Got Cap’n Crunk? From Left to Right : Cap’nCrunk/Slinger x2, Capn’Crunk x2, Micro/Cap’nCrunk Collab x2 Micro x...

Today we take a look at the Coyle Condenser & Micro collaboration series. Much anticipated by fans of both artist each brought their A-”game” no pun intended. Each Munny features a stunningly detailed scene straight from our favorite world of Super Mario, compliments to Micro. We hope you enjoy checking out this piece, we look forward to what’s next from both Coyle and Micro! We’d like to thank both Coyle...

As the Glass Otaku it’s no secret that I am a fan of all things Japan, especially when it comes to glass. Fortunately one of my all time favorite artists Sachiko is currently a resident artist working out of Revere Glass School in Berkely, CA. Since IgniteMe’s founding in 2011 Revere has gone above and beyond by inviting us to cover workshops, R&D pieces as well as showcase many of Revere’s in-house talents such as...

Nothing makes a Glass Otaku smile more than a tasty collaboration, especially when it’s one of the scenes hottest artists with the country’s most in-demand scientific glass artisans. Recently one of Austin’s finest Stoke teamed up with Sovereignty Glass to bring us a series of stunning pieces fit for a king. This is going to be an image-heavy article, so let’s cut to the good...

As the glass scene grows to an even larger scale than previous years pipe-makers now have  the time to travel. Artists from the west are going east…. people from the east, west… you get the picture. Jared Boback aka J-Bob is one such talented artist that has made the move west, looking to try his luck in the city that never sleeps.   A native of Pennsylvania Jared was brought up in the best state for glassblowing, with...

When two inspirational artists get together under one roof, something very special always becomes of it. By combining their individual talents as well as adding each of their signature styles makes for a truly unique and stunning outcome.

Revere Glass in Berkeley, CA (which is a workshop and school featuring guest teachers such as Banjo, Scott Deppe, and Eusheen just to name a few) have just released a boatload of new Micro bubblers this week. We here at IgniteMe have seen this style really take off in the past year… people are looking for something super functional as well as artistic nowadays, which has created a whole new area of functional glass. And it’s...

New from Aqualab comes a great collab from Sovereignty & Hitman! This Stemline to Turbine takes the innovations each brand has made and put them into one piece. Long have I been told the Stemline is the optimum percolation system, and while at IGS  the guys from hitman showed me that their Turbine percolation system was just as good. The Turbine actually creates a tiny cyclone of smoke (like a helix would); I was highly impressed...
