Upcycled Glass ‘Ostrich Egg’ Glass Art Sculpture by Juli Bolaños

The baby ostrich egg upcycled glass art sculpture by Juli Bolaños is from the Ode to Intuición series which began in Edinburgh in 2013. The dimensions of the Ostrich Egg are approximately 16 x 12 x 12 cm, the materials for the piece being engraved ceramics and glass. Like all pieces from the collection, the Ostrich Egg is a non-functional vessel made from objects that Juli has found.

Juli uses her gift of expression through glass beautifully in all of her upcycled glass projects from the Ode to Intuición range, her ability to create artwork from discarded objects makes her collections stand out from the norm. Intuitive play and the ability to create objects that tell a story from other people’s discarded waste are what have brought Juli into the limelight within the world of Glass Artists. An emerging artist, Juli has tapped into a niche of recycled glass that before went undiscovered, bringing to life inanimate objects that before had seen the end of their days.
