At Flickinger Glassworks, where we’ve dedicated over thirty years to perfecting the craft of bending glass. As leaders in both custom and production bent glass, we cater to a broad range of applications, from enhancing architectural structures to creating bespoke art pieces. Our mission is simple yet profound: to bring joy and beauty into spaces through the limitless possibilities of glass.
ContactAt Flickinger Glassworks, our expertise in curved glass spans various industries and needs, including windows, lighting solutions, cabinetry, restoration projects, architectural elements, art, and decorative items. Each category benefits from our specialized approach to glass bending, which combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques.
The process of bending glass starts with understanding the geometry of the desired curves. Our team excels in creating precise templates and molds, which are crucial for achieving the exact curvature required by our clients. This involves intricate calculations and a deep understanding of spatial design.
We boast an extensive inventory of molds, one of the largest in the industry, which allows us to offer a wide range of shapes and sizes for bent glass. This vast selection ensures quick turnaround times and the ability to meet custom requirements without the need for extensive new tooling.
Our prototyping process is a critical step that ensures each piece of curved glass meets our stringent standards for quality and design. By creating prototypes, we can refine aesthetics and functionality before final production, ensuring each piece is perfect.
Glass is bent in our gas and electric kilns, where temperatures are meticulously controlled to ensure consistency and strength. The glass is heated to a precise temperature that allows it to soften and bend into molds without compromising its durability.
Our skilled artisans, who bring decades of experience to their craft, are the backbone of Flickinger Glassworks. Their expertise is not just in handling glass but in their artistic vision and ability to transform raw materials into breathtakingly beautiful products.
