Glassblowing Process

I make these myself.

I only make one order at a time, placing the ashes into a metal tray, then gathering the molten glass and first adding any colours you have chosen. 

When I have melted these to the surface of the glass, I reheat the glass then pick up a small amount of ashes, (about half a teaspoon full) for a paperweight, but need a bit more to make sure I have enough, returning any left over with your order.

I then mix the ashes and colour together in my Glory hole at about 1180 degrees C into swirls and patterns.  I then cool the first part down to about 650 degrees and gather molten 1120 degrees glass over the top encasing the ashes inside. 

I then hand-shape and make this into your chosen piece, whether it be a paperweight, candle holder, heart paperweight, small Vortex vase or even a heart shaped sculpture. 

I assure you, your chosen piece will be made with the upmost respect and passion. as I have a serious love for glass-making and making people happy using the skills I have been lucky enough to learn and share.

"Another piece of lovely glass. I have a wave made by Stuart containing my son ashes. Which is lovely. So I have been back to see him. Ordered a pendant again with my son’s ashes in. So happy with it."

Deborah K.

"Unsure whether to do this with my Mum's ashes but I'm so glad I did. It's heavier than I thought it would be, it's really great quality. The ashes can be clearly seen mixed with glass. The service and communication were brilliant. "

I am so grateful to have found Stuart (no coincidence that 'Art' is in his name). Everything was so easy, and I felt so comfortable every step of the way."

Excellent service and a beautiful memorial piece.

This ring is a beautiful and meaningful tribute to my mother's memory. The finished piece looks perfect. Stuart provided fantastic, responsive service throughout the process, answering all my questions and returning the completed ring extremely quickly. Thank you for making this experience smooth and reassuring.

Beautiful items, first class service

I recently ordered a candle holder and 2 pendants made with the ashes of our beloved Border Collie, Mirren. The staff are wonderful, and the items were absolutely beautiful. We feel we have Mirren close to us again. Thank you for your professionalism and care.

Something so different to have to remember our beloved dog Bruce. To know it's been hand crafted makes it even more special. I ordered three for myself
and my children and the robin sits pride of place next to our photos of a much missed pup. Thank you. Great quality. Quick turnaround. Carefully packaged.

Photos do not do these items justice. They are so beautiful. Excellent service from start to finish. Will definitely be using again. Thankyou Stuart Wiltshire Glass.

Absolutely beautiful- very lovely way to incorporate loved ones ashes

Beautiful!

Just a beautiful candle holder - colours are stunning (I ordered royal blue and gold) and having bought clear-based tea lights it really glows when the candle is lit. Such a lovely and unique memorial for my Mum & Dad, every part of the ordering process was handled with great care and consideration and the finished article sent out really quickly. I am just delighted.

Excellent product same about customer service

I am so pleased with my paperweight. It is beautifully made. It almost looks like the ashes sparkle in the glass. 10/10

My problem is the customer service. I had a DPD tracking msg to say it was being delivered on the 6th. It didn’t arrived and the tracking said ‘delayed’. It was still delayed the next day so I call to see if I could get any help. I was not impressed. I expressed that I was nervous and worried these were precious ashes. The man that spoke to me showed no compassion or care, he looked on his system and agreed it was delayed, he called to someone else in the room who said “DPD were rubbish” he also said that DPD hadn’t collected their parcels in two days. None of this I cared about. All I wanted was reassurance it would arrive. I was given no feedback as to what to do so I said I would give it couple of days and call back if it didn’t arrive.

Luckily it arrived the following day.

It doesn’t cost anything to give someone a bit of compassion. I dread to think what they would have said and done if it had gone missing.
