Orwell Glass: Sharing the experience of working in hot glass

 Orwell Glass was founded by artist John Chiles, whose hand-blown work has been exhibited in museums and private galleries around the world. John operates a glass glass equipment manufacturing business and a glass blowing studio in his farm in the Champlain Valley. There, he designs and creates functional glassware and one-of-a-kind pieces.
