Molten Spirit Glass Studio is nestled in the woods of Roberts Creek, just off Highway 101. Chris has been working with glass for more than eighteen years. He received training while making glass heart paperweights for almost two years in a production factory in Vancouver. From there he studied at the renowned Pilchuck Glass School in Washington State and at Red Deer College in Alberta. He then went on to work for several glass artists in the Lower Mainland. Following the birth of their first son in 2003, Chris and wife Louise moved to Roberts Creek. Over the next two years, Chris assembled his studio and in 2005, Molten Spirit Glass was opened. “We had been coming to the Coast for a couple of years, kayaking and doing camping trips at Smuggler Cove and in Sechelt Inlet,” says Chris. “We were attracted by the semi-rural lifestyle. We wanted our kids to chase chickens, not cars.” Molten Spirit Glass can be found in Fresh from the Coast, the Landing Gallery, the Flying Anvil, and Eco Freako Gallery on the Coast, as well as in the home studio showroom in Roberts Creek. They are also represented by Tug Guhm Gallery in Lund and Sterling Gallery on Granville Island. Regular shows include Hackett Park Arts and Crafts Fair, Roberts Creek Christmas Craft Fair, and participation in the Sunshine Coast Arts Crawl. Chris and Louise host an annual Glass Pumpkin Patch, which coincides with the Arts Crawl. This is a popular stop where visitors can watch Chris blow glass outside under the trees in an improvised open-air studio environment. Visitors also have the opportunity to help create their own pumpkins, and this often continues the following week for overflow demand. Bookings can be made via their Facebook page or email. MOLTEN SPIRIT GLASS STUDIO IS LOCATED AT 885 BYNG RD, ROBERTS CREEK.
