Infinty: Infinity refers to something “without any limit”, and is a concept relevant in a number of fields, predominantly mathematics and physics. Having a recognizable history in these disciplines reaching back into the time of ancient Greek civilization, the term in the English language derives from Latin ”infinitas”, which is translated as “unboundedness”. Cosmologists have long sought to...

Unlike many of the glass artists living in the west in Japan artists are faced with a few more challenges when it comes to earning a living. Whereas an artist in the states has better odds of being able to make ends meet and build a reputation as just a pipe-maker. In Japan an artist has to dig a little deeper; lamp fixtures, oil lamps, and of course Japan’s famous marble art are just some of the few things an artist living in Japan...

Nathan Adami started working with glass in late 2005 while he was studying Art at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.  He studied solid glass form for the first year, making a wide array of glass jewelry, before transitioning to the hollow form with specific interest in glass pipes.   Adami honed his lampworking skills for many years making a variety of handheld production style pipes from home “studios” in basements, garages,...

It seems as though Silika has answered our prayers, and then some! On our last post we challenged Silika to bring some heady work to their fabulous Concentrate Reclaimer and not only have they done that but they’ve also prepared for those odd moments where you don’t have your water pipe on you… You can see that the gobe and the chamber have been worked, but they keep the concentrate catch on the bottom clear so you can...

  It may just be our taste in music but usually at the IgniteMe office we like to have chill music going on in the background at all times. Something that encourages us to work and explore the industry but at the same time we like something we can sit back on the couch and dab to after a long days toil. If you’re a fan of artists like Aphex Twin, TOKiMONSTA, or Flying Lotus you may want to check out Tycho Tycho is the music...

Here at IgniteMe, we love it when function follows form.

Check out their concentrate rigs featuring Double Disk Upline Circs, 4 hole upline circs, 7 arm saw cut tree percs, and 3 hole sealed diffy mini circs. According to their...

Browsing about glasspipes.org  and found an awesome artist I’ve never heard of or seen before. Mr. Land’s Heady Glass takes awesome heady style (Work comprable to famed heady artist Eusheen whom I love) and combines it with scientific styles and designs. This Oiler, definantly displays his heady work and some electroforming (which I love!) and put it all in a super functional piece. Please feel free to contact him to see if...
