Gregg Mesmer

Gregg, honored as an Island Treasure in 2015, owns Mesolini Glass Studio with his wife, Diane Bonciolini. They moved to Bainbridge Island in 1977, started their iconic glass studio, and have been working in the art glass industry professionally for decades. Their expertise goes beyond glass cutting to include other types of fabrication, all aspects of creating stained glass art, copper foil, glass fusing, public art, and teaching. They have worked on many community Art in Public Places projects such as the Bainbridge Beach Glass Quilt, the Waypoint beach glass project, Rotary Centennial Park, and more. Many of their projects include school-age students on Bainbridge and beyond. Gregg has taught for Northwest Art Glass, the Bainbridge Park & Recreation District, and Olympic College.
