This is the Golden Vortex Sculpture style I designed when I made a gift for 'the now Queen', Camilla Parker Bowles, in 2017 and presented it to her at the opening of The Duchess of Cornwall Pub, on Queen Mother's Square in Poundbury, Dorchester.

Whilst also acting as an addition to the house, or providing a centrepiece which is sure to draw attention from visitors, due to its beauty and flawless outline. 

This product is handblown in our seaside studio in Weymouth, Dorset by master glass blower Stuart Wiltshire. Using a variety of precise and unique glass blowing techniques in order to produce a beautiful and detailed sculpture.

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.
