I’m Michal Jaros, a 17-year-old driven by a passion for blown glass, and the face of our family brand that crafts luxurious, elegant glass art pieces. Craftsmanship runs deep in my family. My grandfather spent much of his life as a blacksmith in America, and my father followed in his footsteps, eventually learning the art of glassmaking. This creative craftsmanship has always held great significance for us, just as glass once did in the place I now call home.

Originally from the heart of Europe—the Czech Republic, the cradle of traditional blown glass—I’ve seen how this rich heritage is fading into history. However, during a visit to the USA, I discovered that this tradition is still thriving in some places.
