Production Process

A small pinch of cremation ash is set inside a fused glass art piece. You can opt to have clear glass over the ashes so they are visible or coloured so they are less so, or you may opt to have the ash set in without it being visible at all. You may also wish to have a glass piece without any ash set in.

Any of the glass pieces can be made larger and in many cases smaller. You can ring to discuss your individual requirements. If you have any personal ideas please ring me to discuss and we can make you a bespoke piece.

Each glass piece is handcrafted individually and no moulds are used at any point.

Caring for ashes

I offer a very personal, respectful and professional service. I aware this process may not be the easiest for you. My aim is therefore to make it as easy as possible. Ashes are handled very respectfully and carefully at all times. Any unused ash will be returned to you once I have finished making your piece of memorial glass.

Design

There are several designs which you can see on this website but I can always take commissions and work with you if you have a specific idea about what you would like to create. I can change the colours within any of our pieces and can also produce things in smaller and larger sizes.

Glass making

I use glass from the suppliers Warm Glass and create the pieces myself in my studio in Halton, Lancashire. GlassĀ is a flexible and beautiful medium, and I work in a way to maximise the way that light will shine through and reflect off the piece. I can work with many different colours so please just ask if there is a specific colour that you want me to work with for your memorial glass piece.

Bases

All the bases are made from English Oak

Engraving

Glass engraving would requires a minimum order of three pieces.

Bases can be laser engraved on an industrial basis, please contact me to discuss all engraving requirements.
