Clear Glass Spheres ‘Cane Studies Spheres’ by Clare L Wilson

Clare L Wilson shows off her outstanding technical ability in each and every one of these hand-blown clear glass spheres.

Each piece is lovingly created in clear glass with her signature white cane patterning. The end result is a unique and truly remarkable piece of art.

Individually, the spheres are eye-catching and elegant. However, put several of them into a group and you have a personalised, bespoke arrangement which would be the envy of all who view them. The skill with which each piece is created is as obvious as its remarkable beauty.

N.B.  The images shown are an example of the ones in the series. Each piece is handmade and therefore there will be small variations in colour and pattern. Each one is completely unique and signed by the artist.

Clear Glass Spheres Artist

Clare L Wilson graduated with a BA (Hons) in 2007 from the Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland.

From there, she traversed the globe to the farthest side, to JamFactory Contemporary Craft and Design in Adelaide, Australia, where she was among the fortunate few to be selected for their two-year associate training program.

In Australia, Clare had the opportunity to fine-tune her blown glass skills within the specialist program that focused on design, prototyping and production.

After her two-year stint on the program, Clare became a studio tenant and produced blown glass tableware which sold well, right across the continent. She also exhibited with the Ranamok Glass Prize touring the exhibition.

Clare travels extensively as part of her practice and as a fully-fledged and respected member of the international glass community. This has been a great way to share ideas and skills as well as to get constructive feedback from her peers.

In 2012 Clare returned to the UK and based herself in Hampshire, where she continues to evolve her glass craft. Clare focuses on a muted palette with a cane and murine technique that heightens the effect of her signature frenetic patterning.

Her time is split between producing commissioned pieces like these transparent glass spheres for individuals and corporate clients and creating one-off art glass objects for exhibition.
