Having discovered and fallen in love with glass during one chance encounter, Matthew Abadi quickly traded his life working a 9-5 for the life of a glassblower.

Now known for his precise and delicate work, Abadi's glassware still retains the unique and organic characteristics that can only be obtained through a hand-blown glass process. Rarely making multiples of a piece unless commissioned by a shop or gallery, he employs various glass-making techniques to achieve pieces that are genuinely one-of-a-kind.

Whether intended to perform a specific task or be appreciated from afar, each object is made with a meaningful purpose. The resulting glassware offers a beautiful simplicity within the space it occupies and the space it contains.

Located in Portland, Oregon, Abadi is constantly pursuing new mediums to continue enriching his deep connection to craft.
