Title

Studio Sgobbare - Makers of Fine Art Glass for Everyday Use!

Description

Jennifer Thomas and Jeff Rossi are Studio Sgobbare. In 1984 Jennifer graduated from Skidmore College where she studied painting and sculpture and Jeff finished his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design where he studied sculpture and glass. We later met in Providence, RI and were married. After a walk around the block (the long way) we built a glass furnace and founded Studio Sgobbare in 1996.

Sgobbare in idiomatic Italian means to "work like hell". And we'll both tell you, that it's no joke!! We work very hard but we really enjoy what it is we do, which is blow glass for table top, interior appointment and commission at our hand built studio in Pawtucket, RI, home of Slater's Mill, seat of the American Industrial Revolution, and the head waters of lovely Narragansett Bay.

We built our studio from scratch, all the welding, brick, mortar and refractory work, etc. was done by us, everything except for the pipe work, which we had done by a mechanical contractor. We passed a mechanical inspection and fired up. We have a gas fired 200 lb. melt furnace, to which our annealers are attached. We pay for the heat once, but use it twice!
