To love is to breathe into one’s heart, and Bill and I breathe with fire

Blown Glass, Steampunk, Engineering & Miniature Terrain Building

Bill and Rae are full-time artists who live in Corvallis, Montana. “We are science geeks to glassblowers.” They both have technical backgrounds in the high-tech avionics industry, but left corporate life to live their dream.

Bill became a full-time artist and started blowing glass in 1993. He specializes in the vortex, contemporary marbles, hummingbird feeders, and Pixie Orbs.

Rae left the corporate world in 2002 to be with Bill and pursue a full-time career as an artist and glassblower. In 2016, Rae began incorporating metalworking steampunk designs and terrain building into her art. She has been building scale model miniatures since the mid-’70s. She loves combining her love of Wizards of the Coast and all the wonderful fantasy/tabletop games with science-fiction role-playing games like Harry Potter, Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, and many more. Rae’s art of miniature creatures and dioramas becomes gaming or display pieces. 

Together, Bill and Rae live on a small farm with orchards, an extensive garden with a greenhouse, a Steampunk shop, a Torch shop for torchwork glass blowing, Bill’s observatory, and a Man Cave with an electronics wing and Brewhouse.

They have a YouTube channel, ~Bill & Rae Show~, where they post videos of how they blow glass, brew beer, make soap, and generally live on the farm. 

Their farm offers fantastic views of Montana’s Bitterroot Valley. Together, they spread love and harmony, sharing this amazing journey called life.

Aspen Hot Glass specializes in blown-glass hummingbird feeders, Pixie Orbs, contemporary vortex marbles, bottle stoppers, shot glasses, cabinet knob/drawer pulls, Steampunk designs, terrain-build dioramas, RPG creature game pieces, and more. Buy our art at our Aspen Hot Glass Square Store.

In addition to their glassblowing, steampunk shops, and man cave, they also offer astrophotography.
