Ryan's story
Ryan started flameworking glass in 1995. In 2016, conversations with clients who had lost someone led him to start sealing cremated remains into his glasswork, and it became the focus of his studio.
"I genuinely cherish the connections formed between myself, the departed, and their loved ones. It propels me to dedicate the essence of my being to craft each memorial glasswork with the utmost care," Ryan says.
He runs the studio in the historic town of Mullica Hill with his wife, Abby, and their son. Every pendant is made one at a time, and customers deal with Ryan directly from order to delivery. Ryan has also taught glass art at Salem Community College and the Corning Museum of Glass.
