With a specialty in both blown and torch glasswork, John is celebrated for producing high-quality artistic glass.The Hamon Glass legacy began in 1929 with John’s maternal grandfather, O.B. Hamon, who founded the business. In the early years, O.B. and his four sons focused on crafting functional glass, earning recognition for their Crackleware. During the Great Depression, they sustained the business by collaborating with other glass factories in the area. In the 1960s, John’s uncle, Robert L. Hamon, transitioned the family into the world of art glass. Robert gained international acclaim for his artistic designs and exceptional craftsmanship. Growing up, John spent much of his time in his grandfather’s factory, learning the trade under the guidance of his Uncle Bob.In 1994, with encouragement from his family, John officially entered the art glass scene by opening his own studio. Continuing the family tradition, John utilized the family’s crystal formula to produce some of the clearest, most brilliant crystal in the United States. His work, particularly in paperweights, marbles, and blown glass, is distinguished by vibrant colors and dynamic movement, making his pieces highly sought after and collectible.John has achieved worldwide recognition for his marble creations, excelling in both offhand (cane cut) and torch work. His marbles have been featured in several books on contemporary marble art and are displayed in museums, with thousands of collectors around the globe cherishing his work.In 2009, due to health concerns, John semi-retired from glasswork and closed his studio. However, in 2023, he resumed creating marbles and has been enjoying attending marble shows and sharing his latest creations. John Hamon-Miller hails from the renowned Hamon family of glassmakers and is considered one of the pioneers of the soft glass furnace blowing technique from the early days of the art glass marble movement. He began his career in the 1990s and continued producing marbles into the 2000s. Much of his work is known for its use of the family’s famous sparkly goldstone, which adds a dazzling brilliance to his marbles, no matter the lighting. John’s marbles are a piece of glass history, and his masterful use of goldstone creates stunning pieces that are a must-have for collectors who appreciate vibrant, fun, and sparkly marbles.
