Michael Schunke

Since 1994, when Michael founded the influential Nine Iron Studios glass workshop, Schunke has been a prominent contributor to the contemporary American glass community.

Schunke is dedicated to the pursuit of form through the practice of making. A former professor at the Toyama Institute of Glass Art in Japan, he continues to teach glassmaking around the world. Schunke has been recognized as a resident artist at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA, and the Toledo Museum of Glass in OH.

Michael Schunke is a firm believer in the value of practice and skill in glassmaking, concepts that are exemplified in his remarkable execution of hand-blown glass goblets. The refined nature of Schunke's signature contemporary stemware is a result of his design aesthetic combined with his unwavering dedication to technical practice.

Josie Gluck is an American designer and glassmaker. Her focus on the meaning of matter at the intersection of art, craft and design serves as a departure point for her interest in cultivating lasting relationships between objects and humanity.

Gluck holds a degree in Art History and Studio Art from Union College in Schenectady, NY, and studied glass at the Appalachian Center for Craft in Smithville, TN before earning an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is an Adjunct Faculty member in Glass at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Gluck's interests in lifestyle and objects are common threads through Vetro Vero designs. Sourcing inspiration from her experiences in glass studios around the world, the designer currently works with Schunke to conceive, refine and create objects that deliver personal meaning to contemporary living.

Schunke and Gluck merged practices in 2011 and formed Vetro Vero to preserve traditional techniques and express creative innovation through obsessive excellence in design and craftsmanship. Together, Schunke and Gluck teach glassmaking workshops around the world and have been recognized as Guest Artists by the Glass Art Society and the Corning Museum of Glass.
