Hand Blown Glass Art as Corporate Gifts

Giving a corporate gift or trophy is very meaningful to people who take their job seriously. Anchor Bend Glassworks creates amazing custom pieces of hand blown glass art that you can give to your employees, bosses, and others as a memorable corporate gift. We offer a wide array of options for your needs, including customizing an existing design or creating a unique piece of hand blown glass that is made specifically for your business.

When you come to us, we ask a variety of questions to make a perfect creation for you.

Once we have an idea, we will get to work creating an original piece for you. Some of our past creations include the Boat of the Year trophy for Sailing World magazine, the OSTAR trophy for the Royal Western Yacht Club of England, and the Keeper of the Dream Award for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center.

The Mill at Shady Lea – Home to Anchor Bend Glassworks

The artists at Anchor Bend Glassworks are dedicated to their craft and it shows in each piece of hand blown art glass that they create. They are fortunate enough to be headquartered at The Mill at Shady Lea, a studio in Rhode Island that houses more than 40 different studios for creative and talented artists. At this place, we have a chance to enjoy the antiquity of an old mill full of local history and flavor while we work hard making our art!
The Mill at Shady Lea was founded to provide artists with an affordable and safe place to learn about art, work on creative projects, and share their amazing pieces with other artists. They foster a haven for dreamers and creator who are looking for solace in a warm environment. Unlike traditional rentals, all rental agreements are sealed with a gentleman’s handshake. There’s no need to bring ink and paper into the process, unless that’s the artist’s medium!
If you are interested in becoming part of the artist community at The Mill or just learning more about the community in general, you can find more information on their Website. We love working here and are pleased that our community has such a wonderful haven for artists!
