Hot Sculpted Glass

In 2007, Michael founded Hudson Glass, where he strives to bring nature and design elements together in creating one of a kind glass objects. For the next several years, Michael produced his line by renting time in other studios, but it became clear that if he wanted to grow his business, he would need a studio of his own. In seeking the advice of artists for whom he had previously worked, one of his former employers revealed that she was ready for a transition herself, but wasn’t sure what to do about both her loyal customers & employees, some of which had been with her for almost 20 years. Michael decided he was up to the challenge, and purchased Berni Enterprises in January 2014.

Michael’s goals have included improving on existing designs, growing his own body of work, and merging the two into a cohesive line of unique, hand-made glass items. Everything is designed, produced by hand, and finished by 5 artisans in a studio located just south of Louisville, KY. All of our glass pieces are truly Hand-Made in the Heartland of America, a feature that distinguishes our work from most glass that is available in today’s marketplace.
