It's alive!

Happy to announce that the website is up and running! www.mercuryli.ca There's still some wok to be done but come on over and check it out. Check out the tunes in the bottom right corner as well, we're sporting a great local band called Rorschach. Super cool dudes playing some rockin tunes, certainly worth a listen. Just remember you have to stay on one page while listening to the music, so pack a snap and chill for a moment, it'll be worth it.

Hoping to add some more glass to the site soon, looking at some great Canadian artists so hopefully I'll have something new to show you shortly. Support your local artists, glass blowers and musicians alike. Stay tuned.

Updates - New glass, website up soon!

Just got in a small grip of glass from various US artists including: N3rd, RYNO, Lurch, ARTY and Super Phunk. Just a handful of pieces. I'll throw a few pictures up in a day or two to spice things up.. Some of you might even recognize some of the pieces. Comment or email to request pictures and to place dibs on something. Hoping to get ahold of some Canadian glass to throw into the mix soon.

The Mercury LI website is currently under construction.. But I hope to have it up and running in a week or so. It's been a long time coming but we're almost there! You can bet I'll keep you updated on that front. Stay tuned!

Who is Mercury LI?

Mercury LI is a small glass and book retailer established in December of 2008 with the goal of supplying Canada and the United States with heady glass in a more accessible way. Keeping this in mind, I thought the best way to accomplish this goal was with a retail website. This would allow Mercury LI to reach customers across the nation that couldn't be reached with a brick and mortar shop. Many people live hours away from heady glass but will make the trip because they don't have many options. Hopefully in time Mercury LI can grow to become a valuable source of local Canadian glass and local US glass for Canadian and US residents. Support your local glass artist!
