Striped glass glowing in a torch flame, mid-process on its way to becoming earrings

Shaped in the flame, one piece at a time

Every earring and ornament starts as a rod of glass and a torch flame. The striped glass in this photo is on its way to becoming a pair of dangle earrings.

No molds and no mass production. Just glass, fire, and practice. I've been blowing glass since 2009, and no two pieces ever come out exactly alike.

Handmade in Northern Michigan

I'm Aaron Dye, a glassblower and musician working from a small studio near Michigan's Sleeping Bear Dunes. I've been blowing glass since 2009, and every earring, ornament, and pendant in this shop is made by hand, one at a time.

It started with playful experiments using leftover glass. My wife saw something in those early pieces before I did, and her encouragement turned a side project into Art By Aaron Dye.

The colors come from the place I live: Lake Michigan blues, autumn woods, and long northern nights. Because every piece is shaped by hand, no two are exactly alike.

When I'm not blowing glass, I'm usually playing music. You can find my show schedule here on the site.
