The Ashes Angel Keepsake

The Ashes Angel Keepsake

The Art‑making Process: Where Emotion Meets Craft

Each Angel Keepsake is lovingly created through a meticulous, multi-stage process:

  1. Ashes & Colour Gathering – Molten coloured glass is first gathered and shaped. A small tablespoon of ashes is then added and swirled into the molten glass at high temperatures, blending colour and meaning.

  2. Clear Glass Encasement – The coloured, ash-infused core is encased within clear molten glass to protect and magnify its beauty.

  3. Angel Sculpting – The molten mass is shaped into an elegant angel figure — complete with wings, head, and billowing dress — while still hot.

  4. Annealing for Strength – Finally, the sculpture is annealed (slow-cooled) to enhance its structure and clarity, ensuring a lasting tribute.


Why It Moves Hearts

  • Meaningful Reflection – The angel symbolizes care, guidance, and eternal guardianship—offering solace in moments of remembrance.

  • One‑of‑a‑Kind – As no two ash swirls are identical, each Angel Keepsake becomes a bespoke memorial piece.

  • Craft and Compassion – Handcrafted by Stuart with decades of glassblowing expertise, each angel is crafted with both skill and deep respect.
