Aspen has been in the glass game for over nine years. After traveling the country and selling his glass work he decided it was time to put down roots and build his dream shop. His primary goal was to create a different smoke shop experience than the normal grungy smoke shop. Creating a clean environment that allows customers of all walks of life to enjoy the shop. With a built in glassblowing studio you can stop in and watch the owner and other artists show off their craft. When asked, aspen boiled the shop down to a few words, “friendly, educational, quality and affordability.” That is what we do here at Sunset- along with the gallery.
Aspen also partnered with his long time shop mate Jack and built Tucson torch Works which is a glass blowing school. Our main focus is to make glassblowing accessible to the community. We offer a large range of classes starting with entry level class up to two to three day seminars with artists coming from across the country to teach.
