Tsunami Glassworks Inc. combines the talents of husband and wife glass artists Eva Milinkovic and Kriston Gene, specializing in designing and producing one-of-a-kind sculptural and functional blown glass pieces, production cast vessels, corporate awards and gifts, and architectural sand castings.
Kriston's father, the well-known stained glass artist and owner of Kabuki Design and Art Glass Ltd., in Windsor, Ontario, uses the tsunami wave as his company emblem. The couple decided to take the name Tsunami Glassworks four years ago, loosely tying the two family operations together. The studio is located centrally in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and is the first of its kind in the Windsor area. It serves as a unique gathering place for local glass artists and is an important cultural resource for the Windsor and area community.
Kriston and Eva are partners in business and in life, working together to create unique glass pieces in engraved and hot glass techniques. In addition to assisting one another in the studio, the partners refine their designs with each other as well. Currently, they are creating a sculptural body of work which joins Kris and Eva's patterns together; the work is designed and made in the hot shop by both of them. The pieces titled incalmo vases, which means 'to join together,' refers to the the technical process. It also defines the marriage between Eva and Kriston and their goals for the future.
