| Biography |
Sticky is a glass design studio based in New York and founded by Grace Whiteside. It specializes in creating multi-functional glasswork that is both performative and made through collaborative efforts. Their glass pieces are hand-blown, often customized, and produced in Brooklyn, NY.
The studio's name is inspired by the unique properties of glass when it is melted. At high temperatures, glass becomes viscous and sticky, much like honey, which can stick to itself and other materials. This allows Sticky's artists to experiment with the material, shaping it into complex forms where the glass not only acts as the structure but also as an adhesive.
Grace Whiteside's designs leverage this versatility of glass, creating functional pieces yet showcasing the fluidity, softness, and inherent stickiness of the material. Sticky's work pushes the boundaries of traditional glassware, offering pieces that are as much a pleasure to use as they are to behold.
