The Wright Glassmaker

Discover the vibrant world of fused glass art at The Wright Glassmaker. As a fused glass artist based near Leicester, I create a wide range of colorful pieces that can be used daily or simply admired. From functional items to stunning decorative accents, each of my handcrafted creations aims to allow the beauty of the glass to take centre stage. 

 For me, glass is addictive - the colour and the way that light sends patterns through it. There is nothing quite like the feeling of opening the kiln lid - and it worked! It doesn't always but you can always 'make lemonade from lemons' and recycle the glass - even the tiniest piece can be used.   

The glass I use comes, mainly, as sheet glass which is then cut by hand and sometimes saw but I also use glass powder, glass frit (coarse powder - think caster sugar up to seasalt in size) and murrini (specially shaped very small glass pieces created by very talented people).  I tend to make either geometric pieces (my 'other' job is teaching maths) or nature. 

 No piece will ever be identical to another even if I use the same colours - but you will get the piece in the photo. This is why there is only ever 'one available'.   I am happy to take custom orders and can send photos of glass colours - but certain colours are more expensive (pink and purple) simply because that glass is more expensive - I wish it wasn't but ...

Items are already made and I will post out within 5 days and take as much care as possible - insurance can be arranged by request.  I hope my glass brings colour and a smile into your home- and that you will be able to enjoy it for years to come. If you are gifting, then I hope it makes them smile too.   

You can also come and create your own artwork at one of two locations - see below.
