Size: 4.5\" x 3.5\" Anthony Toomey was born in suburban Philadelphia and began his experience with glass while studying architecture at the University of Hawaii. His interest in glass led him to transfer to Alfred University in New York, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in glass in 2022.  During his academic career, Toomey worked in various studios in California, New York, Virginia, Hawaii and Italy. After graduating, he worked in Ohio and most recently completed an apprenticeship in Davide Fuin’s studio in Murano, Italy.  These experiences have formed the foundation for his Venetian-inspired glasswork, including goblet-making, vases and various traditional forms of glassware. Toomey believes that the Venetian style of glass-making requires excellence in every aspect of the process and strives to adhere to that principle in everything he creates.

Toomey became an Artist-in-Residence at Harbourfront Centre’s Craft & Design Studio (Glass) in 2024.For pickup only
