Artist Yuichi Yamazaki - Blown glass that you'll want to use every day at home

Born in Tokyo. After graduating from the Industrial Craft Design Department of Nippon Design College, he learned the techniques of forged iron crafts as a Western blacksmith. Eventually, he became fascinated by the compatibility of that technique with glass, and decided to pursue glass production. He became independent in 2017 and currently works in a studio in Kanagawa Prefecture.

He has produced two series: the "Mint" series, which features a beautiful pale green color and flickering light, and colored glass, in which colorful geometric patterns are brought to light using a technique called sandblasting (a processing method in which compressed air is used to blow abrasive material onto an object's surface to scrape or create patterns).
