founded in 1998 by a three time cancer survivor who found great hope and healing in the light of a lit handmade votive. she wanted to share that light and help the many patients she met in chemotherapy waiting rooms who could not afford basic costs like groceries and bus fare. glassybaby has now donated more than $2 million dollars to charities dedicated to helping people heal. a team of 70+ artists create glassybaby at a seattle studio and they are sent all over the world.
