About

The Goodman Studio’s commitment to craftsmanship is evident in every piece we create. Our artisans meticulously design and handcraft each item, ensuring that it reflects the beauty and uniqueness of our techniques. We embrace the natural qualities of glass, resulting in pieces that are not only visually striking but also imbued with a sense of movement and life. The harmonious blend of color and form in our lighting sculptures and vessels captures the essence of contemporary design, while our furniture and architectural glass lend a sophisticated touch to any environment. With a focus on innovation and artistry, each creation tells a story, inviting you to experience the transformative power of handcrafted glass.

An array of glass vessels are showcased at our studio, and pieces are also featured at select galleries across North America. Installations and cast glass designs can be seen in the Frankfurt Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge , Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto’s Hazelton Residence and Hotel and Toronto’s luxury hotel, The Ritz Carlton.
