Glass


"Each piece is individually made and unique.  
Using the inherent characteristics of glass - its potential fluidity, fragility, colour, reflectivity and movement - we then layer the glass to provide texture, colour and depth.   We use the heating process, and holding the work at various temperatures to control the movement.   Our inspiration is drawn essentially from water in all its forms and all its states.  
Perfect for St Ives!   Using a marine palette, our work creates a visual reference that captures the constant momentum found on our shorelines and riverbanks.   Natural art such as this is a source of stimulation, inspiration and contemplation."

Kiln-formed, handmade sculptural glass wall-hangings, imitating the flow of the waves of the sea by
Hamlin & Wright

 
 
Claire Paton; Panels, bowls, coasters,
  "I am particularly interested in colour and its relationship with people and their personalities and I represent this through fused glass.    My influences are in abstract art, specifically the work of Kandinsky, Matisse, Picasso and Mondrian."  



Sculptured glass and metal artwork by prize-winning Emmy-Gai Palmer

  "I create intriguing blown glass forms with knitted wire inclusions designed to draw your gaze into the form. I try to capture images of the sea's movement and its effect on the things around it, such as the translucent hues of the seaweed caught up in waves and light through the water..."  


Hand-blown glass vases and paperweights by Potter Morgan Glass
  "Renowned for quality of craftsmanship, every piece of Potter Morgan glass is completely hand-blown, uniquely designed and individually signed by the artist.  
Their range of 'Avebury Stone' is inspired by the ancient standing stones of Avebury in Wiltshire; this range conveys the simple quiet energy of the actual stones themselves.   Entirely made from glass, they have a strong tranquillity and reflect calmness and serenity as well as a meditative presence."
