About the service
I am a glassblower and hand-blow glass Christmas ornaments and decorative pieces to order — from classic round balls to sculptural art objects. I work at a furnace with molten glass gathered on a blowpipe: the shape is given to the sphere by breath and hand movement, so no two pieces are ever identical. This is the charm of blown glass — color shifts, slight asymmetry, the play of light inside a bubble that was liquid an hour ago.
Tell me what colors you like, what size you need and where the finished piece will live — on a Christmas tree, in a window, on a shelf — and I will choose the right shape for the task. I have a supply of colored glass rods and frits in my workshop, so I can mix non-standard color combinations, add iridescent effects or dichroic inserts and vary the size from a small 5 cm ball to a large accent piece of 12-15 cm. Each piece slowly anneals in the oven overnight to relieve internal glass stress — this way it will remain strong and safe for many years. If you need a matched pair for a wedding, corporate gifts or a family collection, I will blow several balls in the same color scheme while preserving the uniqueness of each piece.
What is included in the order:
— One blown glass ball or figure in your chosen colors and size
— Consultation on color, shape and finish before work begins
— Slow annealing in the oven for durability
— Strong loop for hanging or stand as needed
— Photos of the finished piece before shipping
