About Us
We make glass for people who like a little colour in their lives.
We are a small glassblowing studio tucked into the Big Eddy neighbourhood of Revelstoke, BC. We make colourful, functional glass by hand — one piece at a time, under a disco ball.
Our work is playful, useful and made to be lived with. Drinking glasses for Friday happy hour. Vases that make grocery-store flowers look excellent. Clouds that don’t do anything useful at all, except make people happy.
Everything is made in our hot shop by a small crew, using traditional glassblowing techniques, a lot of colour and our own particular way of doing things.

The
Leah Allison
Owner • Glassblower
Leah is the owner and head glass blower at Big Eddy Glass Works. She has been working with glass for over 18 years and in 2018 she opened her own studio here in Revelstoke, B.C., Canada. She fell in love with the art of glass blowing her very first time trying it out and absolutely knew it was what she was going to do for the rest of her life.
Fun insight: Leah’s laugh is literally THE. BEST.
Hunter Haig
Manager • Apprentice Glassblower
Hunter is our apprentice glass blower, but you wouldn’t know it with how comfortable she is in the hot shop. When she’s not busy blowing glass, she’s taking care of all your questions and queries, and making sure the shop runs smoothly. She’s been part of the team at Big Eddy Glass Works since September, 2020.
Fun insight: One of the kindest humans around. Her contact info in in Leah’s phone is “Hunter Who I Could Not Live Without Haig”
Tyler Kathol
Shop Staff • Flameworker
Tyler first started working with glass during one of our Flameworking workshops and caught the glass making bug right away. Check out his mushroom plant stakes or vortex marbles next time you’re in the shop!
Fun insight: He is cool as a cucumber and has the driest delivery of humour, maybe out of anyone, ever.
