Blue Art Glass Bowl ‘Ritz’ by Graeme Hawes

Graeme Hawes’ blue art glass bowl ‘Ritz’ is the epitome of high-class style, much like that famous London hotel of the same name.

The outer shell features a carved opaque white layer which imparts a wonderful texture and appearance. A decadent centre of deep blue with flecks of gold is nestled within the bowl, adding greater depth and lustre to the piece.

Exuding grace and elegance, this blue art glass bowl will elevate your home or office.

N.B. Please note the image shown is an example of ones in the series. Slight variations in colour and form will occur as every piece is uniquely fashioned just for you. Therefore, no two pieces of Graeme Hawes Glass art are ever the same. Graeme personally signs each piece.

Blue Art Glass Bowl 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 is 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 specification.

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 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 blue art glass bowl.
