RAW MATERIALS
Waste Scallop Shells, Venetian glass
From raw material to molten glass, we are involved in every stage of the glass-making process. From sourcing the materials, such as shells, local sands, and wood ashes, to working with glass blowers to create beautiful artefacts.
We believe in the power of collaboration between Venetian glass blowers, Cornish Fishermen and discovering ways of incorporating waste materials into the glass blowing process.
These glass disks were made in collaboration with Benjamin Lintell, from Wave Murano Glass. To achieve the texture and bubbles, molten glass was rolled into crushed waste scallop shells sourced from Fowey Shellfish in Cornwall, and then blown into larger rondells, the glass was then cut into small disks.
