Melt, Mold, Repeat: The Story of Yunk Glass

Written by NuggNotes

Humble Garage Beginnings

Yunk Glass started torching in a Dallas garage, grinding after work shifts with nothing but a hothead torch and a folding table. Texas heat, cracked knuckles and endless practice turned mistakes into muscle memory.

Sandblast and Soul

By 2015, Yunk dropped his clear-carve line—matte blacks, polished clears and sharp hashmark cuts. Simple, bold, unmistakable. Collectors called them “tattoos on glass.”

Grey Area Blooms

In 2016, he co-founded Grey Area Studio with renowned glass maker Earl Jr. Glass—a Dallas hot shop and classroom where rookies learn spoons and pros rent benches. It became more than a studio—it was a torch tribe.

Body Language Rigs

Between 2019 and 2022 came the Yunktionals—humanoid rigs frozen mid-movement. Crouching, flexing, hanging on cans like they had feelings. “Function meets posture,” he called it. Each one felt alive.

Web Drops and Wrist Flips

Yunk Glass pieces sell out in minutes. Pendants, marbles and full recyclers shipped worldwide from Texas. No coast needed—just fire in the hands and a clean weld every time.

70k Deep, All Eyes on Texas

From collaborations with Salt Glass and Relic Glass to charity auctions for the Texas heady scene, Yunk’s hashmarks stamped the game.

Sculptor, Teacher, Torch Rat

Yunk Glass turned practice into poetry. He’s not chasing hype—he’s building a Texas glass lane where style and substance hold the flame. Yunk Glass doesn’t just torch glass—he leaves marks.
