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.
I will need about a tablespoon of ashes and will return any left over with your order. Check amounts with me if ordering multiple items.
You can place your order on the web site or email me with your colour preference and I will send you some pictures of the closest colours I have.
Please put your ashes in a secure bag or small tub with your name and number marked onto the ashes container and post to:
F.A.O Stuart Wiltshire Glass, 18 Saint Nicholas Street, Weymouth, DT4 8AA, 07860541838

HAND-BLOWN
Our Vortex Sculptures capture the essence of life’s fluidity and movement in a single, captivating form. Each one is created through a delicate, artisanal process that infuses molten glass with graceful, spiralling patterns and vibrant hues. As light passes through its contours, the sculpture’s energy seems to flow and transform, inviting quiet contemplation and admiration. More than a decorative accent, a Vortex Sculpture becomes a symbolic focal point—an enduring reminder of life’s constant evolution and the beauty that emerges from change.
