The art of glass cutting originated with the Egyptians in 1500 B.C. Later, the Romans introduced the ancient art form to Europe where it flourished and endured through the ages.
Despite technological advances, the ancient techniques and tools used by the glass cutter pioneers - such as copper and diamond wheel - are still utilized by modern-day glass cutters. Even the custom of passing the craft from father to son prevails - a custom evident at Arribas Brothers.
Young brothers, Alfonso and Tomas, were taught the family business under the guiding influence of their father and grandfather in the northwestern Spanish town of La Coruna. Upon the brother's completion of their apprenticeship under master artisans, the Spanish government quickly recognized their unique talents. Subsequently, the brothers were chosen by the Spanish Cultural Ministry to represent Spain at the New York World's Fair in 1964, where the brothers first met Walt Disney.
The Arribas Brothers' affiliation with Disney began in 1967, where they opened a shop and studio at Disneyland in California. Since then, Arribas Brothers has expanded its expertise: from glass cutting to glass blowing, glass sculpturing, fan painting and damascene - the art of inlaying gold and silver into a blackened steel surface. Arribas Brothers have also expanded their locations to include Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disneyland Park in California, Tokyo Disneyland Park, and Disneyland Paris. Arribas Brothers opened their newest location, Hong Kong Disneyland, in the September of 2005. Newest location coming Summer 2016 at Disney Shanghai Resort.
Today, Arribas Brothers employs master artisans from countries such as Spain, Austria, Italy, France, Germany, Lithuania, Japan and Peru. In addition to their own one-of-a-kind glass creations, Arribas Brothers carries a variety of unique gift items imported from Europe including Swarovski, Crystal, Lladro and Armani sculptures. At Disney locations worldwide, Arribas Brothers' fourth generation of glass cutters can be seen practicing their rare and exacting craft.
