Paul Elyseev and Thomas Stevens ; Founders

WE think supporting artists is paramount to a better world.

In 2007, we founded Hot Sand in Asbury Park, NJ with a simple idea; that hot glass magic should be shared with everyone. 

Our vibrant, landmark hot shop and retail space is a creative incubator for emergent glass creators. Glassware crafted by our in-house multi disciplinary artists play a crucial role in shaping our mission, to forge unique stories with in each creation.

We are accessible to the public and deliver a safe, immersive, bucket list experience for visitors every time. Co-create something magical in a lively space that has a tendency to imbued joy.

Drawing in close to 700,000 visitors to date, Hot Sand concentrates on crafting practical one-of-a-kind glass experiences that resonate in your life for the years to come. You will find that hot glass encourages you to explore your one-of-kind-ness.
