Bringing the imagination to light with glass
'of wings and things glass art' is an Irish company owned and run by me, Eva. With a degree in Glass, a background in Fine Art, and a keen interest in Irish culture, folklore and nature, my glass work consists of illustrative fused glass and stained glass art pieces reflecting these interests. The glass is decorated and illustrated using hand-painting and/or printing techniques. The finished result is a piece of original hand-crafted glass art.
I have a range of decorated fused glass light-catchers available from the website - from airy winged hearts to a playful cup of tea. In the shop you will find gifts suitable for all occasions: from birthdays to weddings, and house-warming to bespoke commissions.
If you are looking for a fun piece of jewellery to add to your outfit - a fried egg or a retro rocket perhaps - there is a range of contemporary fused glass art jewellery available. I think of these jewellery pieces as wearable art, as each one is hand-crafted and unique.
Alongside making glass pieces, I design and create lino-print cards. I enjoy the process of making a lino-print: from initial sketch, to carving the design in the lino, to inking it up, and finally seeing the image come to life on paper. In the shop you will find a range of handmade greeting cards available for special occasions, each one hand-printed and unique.
Everything I create is designed and handmade with love in my home studio in rural Co. Sligo.
Have a look, and I hope you find something you like. If you are looking for a custom-made piece of glass art, please feel free to get in touch via email.
Thank you! Eva

Individual pieces of glass cut, ground, screen-printed and ready for the kiln-firing

The next step is to clean up any rough edges with the hand-pad and drill a hole in the top of the piece to add a ribbon for hanging. And there's 'Red', one of the fairy tale characters I am currently developing.
