DIAMANTINA
A gem-like old hilltop village in Brazil, Diamantina is famed for quartz crystal clusters,
considered since ancient times to have cosmic connections and psychic healing powers.
Inspired by nature, Fine Art Master Glass Artist Frank Englesby has created a collection of
lighting as wondrous and unique as nature itself. Building on glass techniques over 2000
years old, and using the core element of natural quartz, the spires are worked by hand
at over 2000 degrees. The raw crystal spires are then rough cut and hand polished to
expose the inner core to light. As in the natural world each piece is distinctly unique.
OUR STUDIO GLASS IS INDIVIDUALLY HANDMADE.
In all studio glass, slight variations in shape, size, markings and bubbles are inherent in the process, and are the characteristics that distinguish handmade studio art glass from mass produced glass work.
