Green Fire
The Midwest's Premier Functional Glass Gallery
American-made. Artist-direct. Lincoln, Nebraska.
Heady Glass
Heady is a standard of craft, not a category. A heady piece is a decorated vessel — worked with color, pattern, and technique that elevates it beyond the functional. It may be one of a kind or part of a small run. What defines it is the level of artistry on it.
Functional glass at this level is a serious art form. The color theory, the fuming, the sandblasting, the inside-out techniques — these are skills developed over years by artists who have dedicated themselves to their craft.
Production Glass & Vapes
Prodo denotes a piece's place in a regularly produced series. A production line means consistency — the same joint size, the same thickness, the same reliable performance every time. Many of our prodo pieces come from the same artists who make our heady work. The difference is the blueprint, not the maker.
We carry a small, deliberate selection of production pipes, rigs, and vaporizers. Nothing that doesn't earn its place.
Find Us in the Uni-Place Creative District
Green Fire is at 2401 N 48th St, Lincoln — situated in the historic University Place neighborhood and nestled in the heart of the Uni Place Creative District, directly between the UNL East Campus and Wesleyan University. This is Lincoln's premier arts neighborhood, evidenced by the dozen or so massive street murals across the neighborhood painted by nationally-renown resident-artists at the LUX Center for the Arts.
The District's attractions include walkable galleries, working artists, theatre, dance studios, and numerous opportunities and resources to "try your own hand." Every First Friday of the month, Uni Place comes alive with the First Fridays Art Walk — galleries open late, artists show new work, and from May thru Oct, the street fills with vendors and food trucks for the Makers Market.
The neighboring universities both have several galleries open to the public, including the world's largest quilt collection at the International Quilt Museum. There's alot going on - so come check it out and stop by. We keep a curated floor of heady glass and production pieces, and we're happy to talk through any of it.
