How It All Started

 

Glass came into Ben Dombey’s life in 2003. It was like a release, a calling, a passion, and an addiction all rolled into one beautiful muscular fire-dance. Ben has devoted his life to this calling ever-since. Ben majored in glass blowing at Tulane University in New Orleans and received his Bachelors of Fine Arts in 2008. He then went on to obtain his Master of Fine Arts in 2012 from the Rochester Institute of Technology. A versatile and accomplished artist, Dombey has traveled around the world to work with the best of the best. He currently lives in New Orleans with his wife and business partner, Allyson, and their 2 dogs. Together Allyson & Ben own and operate the GlassblowerBen studio where they enjoy innovating process, pursuing excellence, and making the small moments special
