Behind the Scenes: How Our Glass Artisans Handcraft Each Piece

Every MM Glassworks piece is crafted from 100% borosilicate glass by David Alper in a sterile studio environment. Here’s how form, function, and safety come together.

The Step-by-Step Process

  • Rods to flame: Borosilicate rods are heated over a controlled torch for shaping.
  • Precision shaping: Flare, polish, and curve are refined with hand tools.
  • Annealing: Pieces are kiln-cooled to reduce stress and improve durability.
  • Quality check: Surface, symmetry, and biocompatibility are inspected before packaging.
