Modern Glass Ornaments ‘Rainbow Twist Points’ by Nicola Steel

The optical properties of glass are perfectly captured in these modern glass ornaments by Nicola Steel. A hotbed of vibrant coloured glass elements is trapped inside the clear hot glass.

Gaze at the long slim elegant point of crystal clear glass which then billows out to a fulsome body to create these divine teardrop shapes. Admire how the glorious rainbow colours blend as they swirl around the curvaceous round bottom of these glass ornaments.

A piece of art that could also function as a paperweight or ring stand, these modern glass ornaments will bring colour and vibrancy to any room. Whether you choose to display them in your home or office they will always bring a smile to your face.

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.

Modern Glass Ornaments Artist

Nicola Steel has enjoyed working with hot glass for almost twelve years. Her fascination began at Manchester Metropolitan University, where she studied for a BA Hons in 3D design. Nicola continued on to the International Glass Center in Brierly Hill and then worked for Aaronson Noon Glass in London.

Opportunities to work in a variety of different glass studios as well as regularly working with other artists have proved invaluable. These fruitful experiences have greatly expanded her knowledge and technical abilities with glass. Nicola’s in-depth understanding of the material is evident by the expanding complexities and beauty of her pieces. However, not one to rest on her laurels, Nicola is aware of the need to keep expanding her horizons. She continues to learn and develop her skills all the time.

Nicola’s inspiration is quite simply the glass its self. She enjoys playing with the beautiful optical qualities, to create a sense of movement and sensuality. Colour theory is also a key feature. Working with primary and secondary colours, in contrast with black, she create’s a playful yet elegant colour palette. Nicola’s arresting artworks draw the viewer in to see what is happening inside.
