Roll Up Cone
Roll Up Cone
The glass Ian produces uses rotational symmetry as its fundamental design tool. Symmetry is used by man and nature as a device to add continuity, balance and harmony to a chaotic universe, its use in art and design, consequently, attains an aesthetic of order and familiarity.
Ian showcased the making of this piece at our Turn up the Heat event, and he has generously donated it to this auction to support GLAS (Glass Legacy Association Stourbridge). 50% of this auction’s proceeds will be donated to GLAS, and 50% will be donated to the artists.

Ian Chadwick is an award-winning, internationally recognised glass artist and

In his demonstration Ian’s signature aesthetic geometric symmetrical glass panels were
transformed from 2 dimensions into 3 dimensions using the talents and skills of Elliot Walker
and his assistants at Blowfish glass.
The glass panels are laboriously produced and are composed of many accurately cut and
formed components of Bullseye Glass. Bullseye glass is not compatible with the furnace
glass used in hot shops so special consideration and preparation must be adhered to create
the finished result.
