About glass artist Tomoko Otani

Tomoko Oya, a glass artist living in Tottori Prefecture,
In 2016, she opened the Atelier Shop Saon in Shirakabe Dozo-gun, Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture with her husband , and in January 2024, she opened the glass workshop Saon Glass Studio .

Her glass is made using a technique called free-blowing glass.
The glass melted at high temperature is wound around a blowpipe, and then it is blown into with split-second judgement to create the glass . Each piece is lovingly crafted without the use of molds, playing with the glass.

Her glass is full of transparency and cherishes the soft light .
