Featured Works
Sonoran Sunset Goblet
Deep amber and burnt sienna glass shaped into a flowing goblet, reminiscent of desert sunsets over the Sandias.
Silver Fumed Desert Rose
Silver vapor locked into clear borosilicate creates shifting blues and purples in this sculptural rose form.
Turquoise Mesa Pendant
A wearable slice of New Mexico sky — layered turquoise and sand glass in a sterling-wrapped pendant.
Canyon Wall Chalice
Layered reds and earth tones echo the striated canyon walls of Tent Rocks. A statement piece for any table.
Sage & Gold Wine Glass
Gold fuming over sage-green glass creates a warm, luminous glow. Functional and fine enough for any occasion.
Rio Grande Pipe
River blues and cottonwood greens flow through this hand-sculpted pipe — an homage to the bosque.

Fire is Our Medium.
Story is Our Material.
High Desert Flameworks was founded on the belief that glass art should be accessible, alive, and deeply connected to place. We work in borosilicate — a glass medium known for its brilliance, durability, and color depth — and we teach every student who walks through our doors that the torch is a tool for storytelling.
