KINGSTON GLASS STUDIO

Mariel & Alexi Hunter
Kingston, Ontario
Canada

Glass artists Mariel and Alexi Hunter have been blowing glass at their Kingston Glass Studio & Gallery since 2006. After meeting at Sheridan College where they were both studying the art of glass blowing, they moved to Kingston to work and own their own glass studio. Alexi was raised on his family’s farm just outside Kingston and much of his work is inspired by childhood. He is very interested in the technical aspects of blowing large glass vessels and balancing these shapes by sculpting and creating various surface affects. Mariel’s works often reflect water movement and life found within the ocean. She is influenced by Trinidad and the Caribbean Islands where she was raised. The natural beauty of those centers has been the main foundation for her artistic vision. They truly love their craft and it is made evident in the high quality items they produce.
