Esque Studio: Innovative Hand-Blown Glass and Contemporary Design

Esque Studio is an internationally acclaimed glass-blowing studio based in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. Founded by master craftsmen Andi Kovel and Justin Parker, the studio is celebrated for its innovative approach to hand-blown glass, creating a unique punk-lux style that merges fine art with functional utility. Esque Studio’s portfolio features a diverse range of sculptural lighting, bespoke glass vessels, and modern tabletop accessories that challenge traditional glassblowing conventions. Andi Kovel, known for her background in sculpture and her appearance on the Netflix series Blown Away, leads the studio's creative vision alongside Justin Parker, one of the nation’s most skilled gaffers. Together, they have spent over two decades redefining the craft through the use of recycled materials and experimental forms. Their work has been exhibited in prestigious venues such as the Corning Museum of Glass and the Shanghai Museum of Glass, earning them recognition as leaders in the contemporary design industry. Esque Studio continues to push the limits of glass as a medium, producing interactive and provocative pieces that are sought after by private collectors and interior designers worldwide. Their collaborative process emphasizes the physical demands of glassmaking, resulting in works that balance technical mastery with conceptual depth.
