Union Street Glass
Susan Benjamin Glass etc. is proud to present the work of Union Street Glass.
Guy Corrie, designer, glassblower, and master craftsperson, with the help of his wife and
business partner Leanne, carved out their vision for a contemporary art glass studio, and Union
Street Glass was born in 1980. By fusing innovative design concepts with old world glassblowing
techniques, Guy, Leanne, and their studio continue to forge new interest in and appreciation
for their unique art form.
Through his commitment to creating fresh innovations and his obsession with hand blown glass,
Union Street Glass has grown from a tiny 600 square foot studio into a 10,000 square foot studio
in Richmond, CA. Guy works with a small team of skilled artists who create our home
accessories, lamps, and light fixtures here in the studio. Together they produce about thirty
pieces per day. They are still a small family of ten employees, which ensures that each of them
works toward their commitment to quality.
Over the years, they have developed a sister production team in the Czech Republic’s
community of Bohemian Glass blowers. After years of producing stemware in house, their
Bohemian partners have exceeded the stemware skills developed here and drastically improved
the quality of their stemware. Guy explains, “They demonstrate the commitment to quality and
detail I require of all my designs that wear the Union Street Glass mark. I personally train the
artisans to create my designs, but usually discover I learn as much as I teach. These glassblowers
have a 200 year tradition in mouth blown glass, passed down from generation to generation. Our
partnership has allowed us to maintain our commitment to quality.”
Both Guy and Leanne grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and they have always been
inspired by the natural, urban, and human elements of this special region. Since Guy discovered
the art of glass blowing, he has been dedicated to promoting the art and supporting the
movement throughout the Bay Area and beyond. Union Street Glass has become a strong
foundation for the Bay Area glass community, and continues to be a driving force in both the
American Craft Market, Tabletop, Interior Design, and Lighting industries. Guy’s award winning
designs have been seen in many prestigious galleries and museums in the United States and
abroad. “We strive to create contemporary glass art that is as functional as it is beautiful, that
is cherished as much as we enjoy creating it for you.”
