Eric Cromwell, nationally known gaffer, is originally from Toledo, Ohio. After completing his education, Eric worked in factories in Toledo. He met Michael Zelenka, a glass blower, who invited Eric to come along and watch him work at a glass studio. Eric tried his hand at glass blowing and fell in love with a new occupation. He studied under Michael for five years while working at Hale Farm & Village. He became the glass blower and manager of the hot and cold shop at Crystal Traditions in 1997. During the tours, Eric delights young and old with tales of glass making from ancient times to the present.
