Geoffrey Crozier is a glass artist and toolmaker, known for ornamental glass knives and intricate flowers.
Rooted in the Venetian school, his work is defined by deep, rich colour, pattern and surface, and a lasting fascination with light.
Each piece bridges artistic investigation and master artisan practice, and is made entirely by hand.
Geoffrey's life in glass began at the Haliburton School of Art and Design, with a four-month certificate program.
A year of professional workshops followed: with Terry Craig in Haliburton, at Blown Away Glass in Elora, and in flameworking with Tim Drier in Corning, New York.
At Sheridan College, resident artist Mathieu Grodet instilled in him a deep respect for glass and its traditions. He learned to blow astoundingly thin, yet sturdy, vessels, and graduated with the Pilchuck Glass Award.
A scholarship took him to the Pilchuck Glass School in Washington, to study with Deborah Moore.
That same year he traveled to Murano to watch and learn from the Venetian masters, among them Davide Fuin.
Geoffrey served as a technical assistant on Blown Away, Netflix's glassblowing series, and taught workshops at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga.
In 2019 he spent five months with Karen Willenbrink and Jasen Johnsen in their home studio, assisting with their glass work and toolmaking.
He earned a full flameworking scholarship at Corning to study with Margaret Neher.
In 2022 he began passing on what he had learned, teaching flameworking and fused glass from his own studio. In 2025 he went back to Murano, to study with the master Lucio Bubacco.
Today he works full time as a glass artist and toolmaker. His flameworking studio, built with his own hands, is where each piece is born in the flame.
My work is a direct result of the inspirations and fascinations rooted in my rural, work-oriented way of life. The tools we use to provide food and create goods, humanity's capacity to become a master, seemingly a god within their crafts and trades, and the magnificence of the natural world that surrounds me all inform my practice.
