Garcia Art Glass

Garcia Art Glass is a handblown glass art studio based in San Antonio, Texas, led by glass artist and designer Gini Garcia. For over 25 years the studio has transformed residential, commercial, and sacred spaces through custom glass work, from the first sketch to final installation. Its portfolio spans custom lighting such as statement chandeliers, pendant clusters, and sculptural sconces; architectural installations for lobbies, entryways, hospitality venues, and public spaces; liturgical pieces including baptismal fonts, holy vessels, and donor walls; and distinctive handblown glass awards and commemorative pieces for corporate events and donor recognition. Gini Garcia serves as president and chief creative. She refined her chandelier mastery at the Scuola del Vetro Abate Zanetti in Murano, Italy, earning certification in the art of the Venetian chandelier, and has built her San Antonio studio into one of the most renowned glass art destinations in the country. Her work is collected worldwide and can be found in luxury hotels, historic castles, and European museums. She has completed more than 50 site-specific works and has been commissioned by public institutions and private corporations, with corporate collectors including AT&T, Wells Fargo, The United Way, Volvo, Warner Brothers, Benchmark Hospitality, Hyatt International, Westin Hotels International, and Philippe Starck International. She also creates dignitary gifts and residential commissions worldwide. The studio has evolved into a family business, with Gini's mother, Dora Elia Garcia, and her sister, Dora E. Garcia, playing crucial roles in day-to-day operations. Through this team, Garcia Art Glass has created hundreds of commissioned works. The studio also operates an Airbnb property known as The Official Garcia Art Glass House and offers live glassblowing demonstrations Tuesday through Saturday. Its design services guide clients from browsing and dreaming through consultation, written proposal, and approval, with full customization of colors, scale, and hardware finishes.
