SIMON PEARCE

In 1971 Simon Pearce opened his first glassblowing workshop in Kilkenny, Ireland. Prior to opening the workshop, Simon’s design aesthetic and skills evolved during time spent at Shanagarry Pottery, which was owned by his parents. He then gained glassblowing experience working in European glass houses, traveling the world and through studies at the Royal College of Art in London.

From inception, Simon’s vision has been to create products that are beautifully designed, produced with premium quality materials and time-honored techniques and intended for a lifetime of everyday use. This original vision and inspiration lives on. Headquartered in Vermont since 1981, Simon Pearce artisans continue to utilize the same handcrafting principles and techniques Simon brought with him from Europe.
