Ikonic Glass started with a simple belief: good things in life are meant to be shared…and that glass is one of those things.

Co-founder Nick Miska first discovered glassblowing while helping glass artist Jason Mack build the World's Tallest Glass Tree. What began as curiosity quickly became fascination. Nick and his friend Konrad Waller eventually took their first glassblowing lessons and, like most beginners, were terrible at it.

They loved it anyway.

The challenge, the creativity, the fire, and the transformation of molten glass into something beautiful kept pulling them back. But the real turning point came later when they had the opportunity to help teach beginner lessons at a festival.

For the first time, they watched someone who had never touched glass before step up to a torch, create something with their own hands, and walk away excited, proud, and wanting more.

That changed everything.

They realized there was something even more rewarding than making glass: sharing it.

With little money and a lot of belief, they borrowed $50 to get to their first event. That weekend they taught more than 100 people how to work with molten glass. It was fun. It was memorable. And it proved what they already suspected—people love glass when they're given the opportunity to experience it for themselves.

Since then, Ikonic Glass has grown from a single event into a traveling glassblowing experience that introduces thousands of people each year to the magic of glass. What started with a handful of students now reaches communities, festivals, fairs, and events across the country.

Our mission is simple: make glassblowing as accessible, fun and memorable as possible.

We believe glass is too fascinating, beautiful, and meaningful to be experienced by only a few. Everyone deserves the chance to feel the heat of the torch, shape molten glass with their own hands, and create something they can keep and call their own.

We aren't here to keep the fire for ourselves.

We're here to pass the torch.
