What a reaction!

Handmade bespoke glass splashback in turquoise, cream and silver

We are used to lovely reactions to our glass splashbacks when we install, but this week might have won the prize… a big fat smacker of a kiss!

Interestingly though, it wasn’t the only “reaction”, as that’s also what the splashbacks are.. the effects are all due to different glasses reacting both with each other and  the pure silver foil used (in the centre of the “wave” as well as a few “wisps”). Although you can pick up dark greens, browns and yellows, none of the colours were in fact used, but they have been created by the different minerals and metals in the different elements reacting with each other. This effect is both expected, and unpredictable at the same time, making it a choice for the brave or adventurous customer !

This design has been one of Liz’s favourites for a while, but it’s only this week that she has had a chance to create one for a customer.. so this week has been a good week!

Another happy customer !

Handmade Glastonbury Thorn Glass Splashback. Bespoke commissioned splash back in kiln carved transparent art glass.

Although Christmas production is full on in the Glassification workshop (we’re referring to it as Santa’s Workshop, Ilton Branch!) we still managed to fit in an installation of a splashback for our customer in Warwickshire.. once the kitchen installers are finished we hope to pop up again and get a good photo of the whole room in all it’s magnificence!

Austin Matthews Design, our latest retailer!

Tree of life clear glass splashback behind Aga

Austin Matthews Design has become the latest retailer of our splashbacks.

Nestling in  beautiful countryside close to Stratford on Avon, Austin Matthews is a family run kitchen studio, specialising in quality handmade designs.  And their lovely showroom no has a new addition, a clear glass Tree of Life, specially designed for their particular space.

Whilst it wasn’t the easiest install we have ever done (understatement of the year!) we got there in the end, and now it certainly looks the part behind the Aga!

And we are very excited about collaborating with the guys at Austin Matthews, and Aga in the coming months.. just watch this space!
