Hi everyone! I'm so happy to finally have gotten the store up! The checkout is not fully set up yet, but you can see some items that you can buy directly from me.
All of the items on my site are made in my glass shop located in scenic Highland Park, New Jersey. If you are in the area, please send me a text and stop on by!
Before I go on, let me tell you a little bit about my glass shop. I converted my garage into a glass-blowing shop. Having a shop in my garage is a blessing and a curse. It does save me a ton of overhead, but with a family of six kids, storage space is a premium.
What do you get when buying from me?
Great question! You get the satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting my family, my YouTube tutorials, and helping support American businesses. We are not rich people, and we live well within our means, so anything we make goes to our essential expenses.
All the materials that we use are ethically sourced. Yes, my pricing may be higher than local smoke shops, Alibaba, Amazon, etc., but I only buy from reputable suppliers here in the US to support our economy.
I'm sorry, I'm going to have to rant a little bit here.
Companies I will never support:
Ones who use child labor
Ones that make cheap, chemical-filled products
Ones who cut corners to save a few bucks
Ones who do not treat their employees fair
Ok end of rant.
What made me open the store?
It has taken me a long time to make the store because when I originally started The Fusing Shop, it was meant for lessons only. I love teaching people about flameworking glass blowing. You can see this when you visit my YouTube channel where I provide free glass-blowing lessons.

I decided to upload a few products because people have been asking if they can buy some of the things they see in the videos. I have to admit that I am not a glass artisan. I'm just a dude who likes making things and sharing what I've learned with others. Some of my items may be imperfect. I try my best to produce the best pieces I can, and if you are not satisfied, then I'll gladly give you a full refund.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. I appreciate your awesome support!
All the best,
Sim
