Kiln Glass Art ‘Tree of Souls’ by Cathryn Shilling

‘Tree of Souls’ by Cathryn Shilling beautifully fuses kiln glass art with a bespoke ceramic base. The kiln-formed glass platter offers the viewer a glimpse into the vastness and spectacular nature of our world.

A traditional diorama, the grandeur of this stunning glass vessel perfectly illustrates the natural state of our environment before human involvement.

The base of this lustrous purple kiln-formed glass art is made by George Jackson. Immerse yourself in the fine detailing of this kiln glass, the ‘tree of souls’ boasting purples, blues, indigos, and lilac shades.

This kiln-formed glass with dichroic represents a place of uncertainty, one where human activity could eventually lead to the jeopardy of our very existence.

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, shape and pattern. Each one is completely unique and signed by the artist.
