LE Glassworks was started in 2022 by Charlie Golonkiewicz. After having started studying glass in 2011 while at Alfred University he travelled to Murano, Italy to extend his education, learning glassblowing techniques from talented Venetian maestros. Upon his return, he spent several years working for various artists, as well as lighting and interior designers in New York as a multi-talented fabricator of light fixtures and glass products. After persevering throughout the Covid pandemic he decided to offer his own unique designs under the LE Glassworks title, a name inspired by his labrador retriever, Ellie.
