DESCRIPTION
This stunning work of sculpted art glass is by Jane Charles, one of the leading British contemporary glass artists.
Multiple techniques have been utilised in the creation of this piece. Techniques include Sandblasting to create the smoothly frosted exterior and the cutting of the sides to create the faceted effect, as well as creating a 'window' into the layers of captured flowing motion within the piece.
