About Crondo

Crondo Glass has been creating functional glass since 2001, developing a wide-ranging style built on technical skill, intricate linework, and bold color combinations.

After studying with Jason Lee in 2007, Crondo expanded his work in two-poles, linework, and advanced glass techniques before competing throughout the heady glass scene. His career includes the Borough Knights, Champs Flame-Off, and a 2016 People’s Choice win at Borough Derby alongside OG Badger Glass.

Known for detailed Sherlock pipes, collaborative work, and an impressive range of functional glass, Crondo continues to create under Crondo Glassics in Pullman, Washington.

Crondo started melting glass around 2001, not in a studio, but in a backyard in El Cajon, California, under a pop tent, blowing glass in the dirt with a pit bull at his feet. He got his first real shop time at Puff and Stuff in San Diego's Logan Heights, where an artist named Artie handed him a VHS tape called Taboo Glass. He still watches it today.

In 2007, he flew to the Northwest on his tax return and took his first class with Jason Lee, two-poles, line work, glass tetrazing. His skills jumped fast. That same year, he attended Champs for the first time and discovered the heady side of the scene. It changed everything.

He went on to compete at Borough Knights in Seattle (2009), captain a team at the Champs Flame-Off (2010), and win People's Choice at Borough Derby (2016) alongside OG Badger Glass. From 2012 to 2016, he ran production for Glass For Me. Today he works out of his garage in Pullman, Washington under the name Crondo Glassics, selling at Pacific Northwest barter fairs and through Instagram, on his own terms.

Twenty-plus years in. Still blowing glass in the Pacific Northwest.
