About Treso Glass — made for the people who notice

Handmade borosilicate glass by Shayne “Treso” Lefrancois in Salem, Massachusetts.

Wearable fire, functional art, and custom pieces built to outlast trends. Made for the people who notice.

Shayne "Treso" Lefrancois is the artist behind Treso Glass, creating handmade borosilicate glass with a focus on flame work, fume technique, wearable pieces, functional forms, and one-of-a-kind art glass. His work is rooted in more than ten years behind the torch, beginning in Salem, Massachusetts, where he moved from glass enthusiast and collector into full-time flame worker.

Treso's work often centers on fume work, a process that uses precious metals like silver and gold in the flame. As the metals vaporize, they bond with the glass and create shifting color, smoke-like depth, and unexpected patterns. What begins as clear glass becomes something layered, colorful, and completely unique.

No molds, no mass runs, no shortcuts. Every piece is shaped by hand, made by flame, and finished one at a time.

Studio and markets based in Salem, Massachusetts.
