A glass donut

August 1, 2014

The Sprinkle Lab studio is tucked away in a quiet corner of Oakland, housed inside an old art deco warehouse that once contained a bustling steel mill.

We have some incredibly talented artists for neighbors here, from painters to jewelry makers, even stained glass fabricators. This month we decided to take advantage of our proximity and hence commissioned the talented artisans at Nzilani Glass to craft and install a custom glass donut in our studio.

Their process is meticulous and entirely handcrafted. Check out the GIFs below for an insight into their methods.
