Product Description

About this product:

  • 100% hand made Shark.
  • Adding colour, then encasing with clear barium crystal glass & hand sculpting at 1120 degrees C. 
  • Then hand sculpting a wave using colour and silica sand mixed together on blowing pipe.
  • Encasing in clear barium crystal glass again, before sculpting and shaping into a wave form.

When both items are made, I carefully grind and fit them together, then cold fuse them together using Ultra Violet curing Glue.

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.

HAND-BLOWN

A Shark riding a Wave?

Our Shark Surfing a Wave Sculpture is more than a decorative object—it’s an artistic encapsulation of nature’s raw energy and fluid grace. Handcrafted from molten glass, it weaves together strength, motion, and a hint of drama as the shark rides the crest of a wave. Light passing through its flowing contours reveals subtle shifts in colour and texture, drawing the eye into its dynamic scene. This piece does more than capture a moment in time; it inspires reflection on life’s balance, daring spirit, and the exhilaration found in nature’s grand design.

FAQ'S

How is the Shark Surfing a Wave Sculpture crafted?

Each sculpture is individually handcrafted by skilled artisans, who expertly shape molten glass into the dynamic form of a shark riding a curling wave. This careful, hands-on process ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike.

What makes this sculpture a distinctive decorative piece?

Beyond its striking appearance, the sculpture captures a sense of movement, power, and balance. The interplay of transparent and coloured glass creates a vivid, almost lifelike scene that evokes the thrill and beauty of the ocean’s depths.

How should I display and care for my Shark Surfing a Wave Sculpture?

Placing it where natural or subtle ambient light can highlight its curves and contours will enhance its visual impact. A simple dusting with a soft cloth now and then will help maintain its clarity and brilliance for years to come.
