Glass pipes have been created and sold in various ways for many decades. The height of its popularity was in the 1960's and 1970's. The hippie generation embraced the use and has had a lasting impact on future generations. Some of today's glassblowers have been influenced by this era in history. Their work reflects this philosophy by creating pieces with a psychedlic theme.

Not all glassblowers have a connection to the 1960's and 1970's. Many of the new glassblowers were born in the 1980's. They have taken a different approach in creating glass pieces. Their artwork reflects their own personal interests that range from nature to pop culture. Any adult can buy a pipe but not every adult wants to buy a piece of hippie psychedlia.

If you shop the internet or visit a shop that sells glass pipes, you'll find many psychedelic themed pieces. Even though those pieces can be made by expert glassblowers, there is little variety available to the public. What if you want something different? What if you want to buy a pipe that relates from something in your own life? Clothing, food, music, movies, sports, religion, and many other interests are a part of each of us. We decide what we want to buy based on what we can relate to. So why not glass pipes? If you have no interest in buying psychedelic glass pipes, what other choices are there?

PRESTIGE PIPES was created to find glass pipes from glassblowers all over the United States that offer different themes and styles. Because there are many different lifestyles, there should be many different styles of glass pipes. Right now there are many glassblowers that want to share their interests with others that also have the same interests. One way to share ideas and interests is in art. Through art we can connect to each other. Connecting to others makes us feel that we are not alone.
