Ariel Mazzola is an American multi-disciplinary artist working in glass.

Inspired by the nearby beaches of where she grew up, her collections employ patterns, shapes, textures, and colors that elegantly resonate that feeling while merging these environments of pastoral landscapes & oceanic scenery and capturing the essence of those summer moments.

In her backyard studio is where she is able to explore the capabilities of torch-work, to test sculpting & color processing to develop new collections.

Selected in 2022 to be lead gaffer at Hot Sand, her creative direction has built new stories for our products. Her team of emergent glass artists help craft vibrant spaces for everyone to enjoy glass magic.
