Artisan Craftsmanship by BearTrap Studios (Tristan Koke)
Crafted by the talented Tristan Koke at Beartrap Studios, his background in the outdoors, music, and general love of life informs his work to be one long love letter to all his greatest influences. With a wide body of work available, the SideCar bubbler stands out as a testament to the intricacies that can be seen in a work of glass that initially seems perfectly straightforward.
About the Artist
A jack of many trades, an outdoorsman, singer/songwriter and banjo picker, Tristan Koke started a journey with glass in 2022, after deciding working construction companies didn’t align with his life views goals, or health. TBear was only able to do this because of another northwest Indiana glass blower offered a spot to work in his shop. That would be CrushSignal who really helped him get on the torch. Being a big outdoorsman and one who loves fishing and hunting for mushrooms, Tbear’s sidecar idea was developed for a mushroom next to a log. Since the first mushroom season on the torch in ‘22 the favorited style to make has become sidecars and bubbler sidecars that don’t spill.
