Welcome Kevin of XHale Glass to the Community Interview!

Victoria Victoria
Glass is special... it’s so personal – being handled, often hand-blown, and usually each piece is unique. That is certainly true for XHale Glass. Their pieces are a labor of love – handcrafted and carefully created.

Kevin and his company partner Adam have been so active since joining Eden Link – emailing us with loads of information on the terminology and processes. Offering up information, trivia and feedback on the forums and making announcements through their Eden Link about how to choose glass wisely. These guys are so passionate and want to share all that they know. Kevin has been so friendly, approachable and transparent with us – we appreciate the relationship so much. It’s a dream come true to have such energetic and involved manufacturers on board. And to know the guys who make some of your favorite toys? Awesome!

I know I’m curious about how glass pieces are made. I wonder whether Kevin has been seriously injured working with molten glass... or how long it took him to feel comfortable wielding the wand. How does one learn this trade? What is the most difficult piece to create? My mind is spinning with questions! Go ahead, beat me to it – I can’t ask them all!

Ask as many questions as you’d like; you can even post about and link to the interview from your blog if you want to. Feel free to share your thoughts!

And...we know how you love prizes, contests and sales – so next week I’ll be announcing special XHale promotions, the prizes for best questions in the interview and maybe even some new XHale products we’ll be carrying soon – stay tuned for those details! I’ll add them to this thread and tweet them

The interview is open for questions from today (October 30th) – November 9th.

We are so excited to learn more about glass, XHale and this very talented man! Welcome Kevin and XHale!

It's great to see that EF is open to working with XHale. We have their Gold Twist With Handle link - it is a very high quality well made glass wand - my wife loves it.

So far I have not seen any XHale products on your site - when I do, I'll do a great review for the Gold Twist.

I'll second (third? fourth?) the kudos being sent XHale's way. Their glass toys really are extraordinarily well crafted and a world apart from others I've tried in terms of quality. I can't think of any questions to throw Kevin's way, but do want to give both him and Adam a massive thumbs up for their work.

Thank You Gunsmoke. Actually EF has been purchasing from us for almost 3 years. You can type in XHale in the product search bar and it should pull up the pieces available here on the site. I know it is a little confusing trying to search for glass as everything is kind of grouped together by the material rather than the manufacturer. We have worked very hard building our brand name... Brick and mortar stores make it a little easier to find luxury toys by brand name...I am confident more online storefronts will soon see the added benefits in featuring certain products by brand, rather than the material used. You have a beautiful toy...Kevin personally makes that piece as he is the only artist we have found that is capable of making it look the way it does.
