Art Glass Orb ‘Glow Copper‘ by Tracy Nicholls

Glow is a beautiful art glass orb that emulates a welcoming warmth. The ‘pate de verre’ technique, is the pressing of glass powders or frits, crushed glass, to the consistency of sand, into a mould. A detailed and difficult form of kiln casting produces this eggshell-thin orb of black glass. With its vibrant colour and glossy finish, the copper leaf interior provides a striking contrast to the rough, textured exterior. 

Glow is a statement art glass orb, the reflection of light bounces around the curved interior giving the illusion that it is lit from within.

Dominant by itself, beautiful as a collection.

There is lots more to see here at Boha. Why not explore our collection of glass vessels?

N.B. The images shown are an example of the ones in the series. Each art glass is handmade and therefore there will be small variations in colour, shape and pattern. Each one is unique and signed by the artists.

Art Glass Orb Artist

British Glass artist Tracy Nicholls discovered glass during evening classes she attended in 2003. Perusing her interest in glass, Tracy went on to complete an MA in Contemporary Craft- Glass, at UCA Farnham. Graduating with Distinction in 2009.

Tracy has set up her studio in Kingston, Surrey.  Tracy works predominantly with opaque glass to create her signature pieces.  Intrigued by the nature of erosion, Tracy studies the disintegration of solid forms over time. Observing the transition of the ever more delicate and fragile form. Subsequently transforming into an absorbing, lace-like structure. Simplicity is the key to her work and favours the monochrome colour palette, using light, shape and form to capture the eye.

In 2008 Tracy won, ‘Best in Show’ at the British Glass Biennale. In 2014 her work was included in Europe’s prestigious Coburg Glass Prize in Germany.   Tracy’s Sculptures are present in many exhibitions throughout Europe and the UK.  Her work can be found in both private and public collections, including the National Museum of Scotland and the Marinha Grande Museum of Glass in Portugal.
