Meet Eric Zissman...

Known to many as 'EZ': the talented hands behind Dezigns.

EZ is a veritable artist with a knack for creative construction. He finds inspiration in art, music, nature, friends, family and good vibes. EZ likes to wrestle with conventions and work with unique mediums. He has profound experience working with an airbrush and tile mosaics. However, EZ has one pure, fiery passion

—GLASSBLOWING.

He took a one-day seminar on glassblowing the summer after high school, instantly fusing his heart with flames of colored glass. He’s been self-taught ever since. EZ currently blows glass at home in Austin, TX when he’s not working as an engineering consultant or playing lacrosse. However, as the sand in life’s hourglass continues to trickle, he plans to make glassblowing a full-time vocation.

EZ currently blows small pieces with a torch, but would like to heat his way up to large abstract blown vessels and freeform glass.

It is EZ’s mission to master the art of glassblowing. But he won’t stop there. He hopes to inspire, teach and develop glassblowing as society’s next artistic addiction by introducing people to its awe-inspiring science and style. Although he is still small in the glassblowing community, EZ has a big dream, and plans to do something about it as soon as possible.

He promotes custom glasswork, offering people the freedom to choose their own designs, styles, colors and shapes from personal inspiration to get exactly what they want.

For now you can find a handful of Dezigns at Austin Art Glass on S. Congress in Austin, TX. Or contact EZ directly for some custom creations.

Get yours today and take it EZ.
