William Couig is a New York City based artist and designer. He was introduced to glass after seeing a number of demonstrations in various locales as he backpacked around the world after college. Upon returning to New York, he discovered UrbanGlass and was drawn to the fluidity and the physicality of glassblowing immediately. He’s spent the past 25 years designing and fabricating work for himself and a select clientele from the studio in Brooklyn, NY. His foray into digital filmmaking started during the covid shutdown of 2020 when UrbanGlass was closed. It started with building a to-scale lego replica of the studio which he then used as a production set to create surprisingly accurate process videos representing the diverse community of glass artists in Brooklyn, New York.
