Legendary glass blowers Jon Stokesbary, Don Pettey, & Boyce Lundstrom — with the help of Boyce's nephew, Sean Gildea, a young CPA, now CEO & owner — began Oceanside Glass & Tile in an old WWII fighter jet assembly plant in Oceanside, California circa 1992.
They sought to bring the timeless beauty of glass mosaics from Europe to the United States.
Looking to bridge the art glass world with the world of interior design, our founders pioneered hand-cut, cast glass mosaics resembling tile found in ancient Mesopotamia some 5,000 years ago.
