MOLTEN COAST
Made for light. Made for space.
Molten Coast is the studio of glass artist Matthew Szidik. His work explores the relationship between glass, movement, color and light—from sculptural objects and wall pieces to lighting and site-specific installations.
Every piece begins by hand. No two emerge exactly the same.
Three Ways to Explore the Work
STUDIO DROPS
Experiments, studies and singular releases directly from the hot shop.

MADE TO ORDER
Made by hand. Never exactly repeated.
Selected Molten Coast designs can be commissioned in established sizes and colorways.
Each piece follows the character, palette and movement of the work shown while retaining what makes handmade glass extraordinary: subtle variations created through heat, gravity and the hand of the artist.
Looking for something entirely your own?
Glass changes with its surroundings—holding light, reflecting color and becoming part of the space around it.
