Large Freestanding Wave - Nearly Home Trees

Customer Reviews

Based on 6 reviews Write a review
This fused glass, freestanding wave can sit on a windowsill or shelf and catches the light wonderfully.  Candles can be lit behind the wave to add extra ambiance. 

Each one is handmade and individual, there will be slight differences and no two will be exactly the same and therefore will vary slightly from the photographs.

The wave is created in my studio in Cornwall and is a 2-3 day process, layers of thin coloured glass, crushed glass and powdered glass are used to create an intricate design. It is then heated in a specialist kiln for 13 -15 hours to fuse the crushed glass together, after cooling and cold working it is returned to the kiln where it is slumped over a mould for another 13 hours to create the distinctive curves. Each piece is handmade with no templates or machinery so no two are identical. 

This image is inspired by the iconic "Nearly Home trees" on the Devon / Cornwall border at Lifton, also known as Cookworthy Knapp. Many weary travellers love this heartwarming image when arriving back in Cornwall.  Little sheep graze at the bottom of the hill. Iridised spring green glass is complimented with Aventurine Green and jade green and texture is incorporated to increase light reflections. 

It is 9 cm tall and approx 23 cm wide. The wave is signed.

Thank you.

I’ve been looking for a piece of glass art for ages & spent hours searching for the perfect one. This is it. I love it.

A present to me!

Saw this when searching for a gift and kept coming and having another look. In the end I got a treat. It's a lovely piece on the window sill that changes depending on the light. I don't regret the impulse buy at all. It's lovely.
