We believe 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 preserve unique stories within each creation.

We are accessible to the public and deliver a safe, immersive, joyful experience for our visitors every time.

Drawing in close to 100,000 visitors to date, Hot Sand concentrates on crafting practical one-of-a-kind glass experiences that will resonate in your life for years to come. Co-create with our working artists to make something timeless.

You will find that hot glass encourages you to explore your one-of-kind-ness.
