The Brushstrokes of the Maker: Inside the Annieglass Studio

Annie Glass

For a company that won the 2015 ARTS Green Award for Sustainability, eco-consciousness is part of nearly every process. Skylights and energy-efficient lighting illuminate the warehouse, while a reflective roof provides above-standard insulation. Studio operations are designed for a maximum of efficiency, from kiln firing times to a glass-cleaning machine that reuses water, while packing materials are made from potato starch and sorghum, and scrap glass is donated for reuse. This focus on green methods circles back to a primary source of Annie’s inspiration—nature.
