Scanlan Glass

Hand-blown glass transforms everyday objects into quiet artistry. Scanlan Glass operates from a Red Hook storefront where furnaces and breath shape molten silica into vessels, ornaments, and functional pieces. The process remains one of Brooklyn’s last visible crafts—glowing rods pulled, pinched, and cooled into permanence. Neighbors and collectors alike stop by for custom work or ready-made items that carry the slight irregularities of human touch. The studio sits at 499 Van Brunt St, Brooklyn, NY 11231, a block where industrial past meets contemporary maker culture. Visitors can watch demonstrations or commission one-of-a-kind designs; call (718) 369-3645 to schedule a session. For directions, check the map.
