About The Artist

My name is Taylor Woodworth. I was born in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1992 and have been making glass in my hometown since September 2014 until I moved to Tucson, Arizona in 2024. I have always been interested in art my whole life, so when my friend built his own home studio and invited me to try glassblowing for my first time, I was instantly hooked.  I still own the first thing I’d ever made on the torch, a small green pendant. Since that day, I began submersing myself in the culture and industry and learning as much as I could. I started skating to my friends studio to practice part time and slowly started buying the equipment I would need to eventually build my own studio, which I did in 2016 when I bought my first home. I quit my last job in 2019, the same year I graduated college and got married, and decided to go full time as a glass artist. This art form is different than any medium I have ever worked with in the past. The possibilities seem endless, there’s always more I can learn. 

 

After my first two years on the torch, I began taking classes from other well established artists from around the nation. These classes include Darby Holm, Eusheen, Banjo, Salt, Bluegrass, Siren Apparatus, Certo, Rye, Phil SiegelJerome Baker, Taffy, JDZ, and Sap. The knowledge I have learned from each of these artists has been an incredible stepping stone to get where I am today and I couldn’t have done it without their guidance. Much of my inspiration comes from the nature around me and the traveling I have experienced. I enjoy sculpting, finding interesting color combinations, and making things that nobody has seen before.

 

I sell most of my work through social media outlets such as Snapchat and Instagram. I love posting progress videos to show my followers an inside look at how I make my glass art. It gives the audience an interesting view of my work to see exactly what goes into the products they are purchasing. I also post a lot about my personal life to give my followers an idea of who I am, so come follow my social media to get to know me better!
