Rubi Glass is a husband and wife team that create unique fine Hand-blown Art Glass. Carlos and Sophia have been blowing glass for 18 years. Together these two creative forces unite to produce avant-garde art glass, sculpture, lighting, and mixed media. Working for Evans Design, a nationally recognized firm making fine home accessories launched their career as full time glass artist. While also working for Fusion Z, a subsidiary of Evans Design, Carlos was the head designer for a team of glassblowers in the Czech Republic. After 5 years, they began Rubi Glass, which became a marriage of their hearts and creative energies. Since establishing Rubi Glass, they have made their sole careers as glassblowers, working steadily to fulfill their dreams of creating original works of art and custom commissions.
One of their greatest pleasures is taking a vague dream or vision from a client and working collaboratively, using their unique design abilities to turn ideas into a custom work of art. Design is an intimate process, with an understanding of each clients needs to ensure that the final piece meets their inspirations and expectations. The chandeliers are a prime example of this process, as each is different and made specifically to suit the functional and aesthetic desires of the client.
The Rubi Glass studio is located in the beach town of Arroyo Grande, California. They are surrounded by the sand dunes, bluffs and endless colors of sky and ocean for inspiration. Being deeply attuned to their natural environment, it flows into designs subconsciously. Much of Rubi Glass work reflects an organic natural quality of a leaf, pod and seashell forms. Color combinations have been designed and inspired by earth tones, golden sunsets, deep ocean blues and translucent green rivers. The highest quality glass is melted to insure the finest world class art product. Stature is impeccable, their reputation global and business eco sensitive.
Love for the Arts
