Green Glass Sculptures ‘Contemplation’ by Graeme Hawes

These green glass sculptures ‘Contemplation’ have a beautiful shape that entices the viewer to not only look at them but also through it. Inspired by nature, these magnificent sculptures are a combination of olive green and blue-steel-like colours. Dark with rugged good looks, these pieces are perfect for the man in your life.

When the light hits these highly refractive surfaces, it slows down and changes direction, bouncing from one cut surface to another. Graeme combines many elements to create these unique sculptural and contemplative forms. You may find yourself losing hours, pondering life as you admire Graeme’s green glass sculptures!

N.B. The image shown is an example of one in the series. Slight variations in colour and form will occur as every piece is unique. Therefore, no two pieces of Graeme Hawes Glass art are ever the same. Graeme personally signs each piece. Sizes are approximate.

Green Glass Sculptures Artist

Graeme Hawes is an incredibly talented and experienced glass artist. Graeme graduated with a BA (Hons) in 3D Design in ceramics and glass from Sunderland University. He then went on to gain an MA in glass design at the Royal College of Art (RCA).

Since completing his MA in 1995, Graeme has enjoyed working as a freelance glassmaker and designer. The movement and fluidity of the material in the making process are essential to the creation of his free hand-blown art glass. This fluidity is a key factor for his inspiration in the final design and form.  Graeme enjoys making his own creative designs and also works to client specifications.

Graeme’s beautiful and colourful glass sculptures are highly regarded and sought after. You can find his decorative and unique contemporary art glass in many shops and galleries throughout the UK and internationally.

Furthermore, his work has also been featured in many magazines, including The Guardian weekend supplement, The Sunday Times Style Magazine and Elle Decoration.

In addition to making and designing, Graeme also had the pleasure of teaching for many years. He was a senior lecturer at the School of Design, De Montfort University (DMU), Leicester. He also taught as a visiting lecturer at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University and Lancaster Central University. Graeme has stopped lecturing to concentrate on his own incredible designs like this amazing green glass ornament.
