GLASSTORM LAUNCH OF NEW BOWL CraftScotland, Homes & Interiors,SECC 2008

15 September 2008

Glasstorm is one of Scotland’s most exciting new hot glass studios and was established in 2005 by Brodie Nairn and Nichola Burns.  Both worked in the glass art scene in Italy, Switzerland, Germany and The Netherlands before returning to Scotland to set up their studio.

Taking their popular ‘glasstorm bowl’, a weighted smooth rimed bowl with a visible top layer of clear glass, they have hand cut the exterior using a technique called ‘inchiso battuto’.  These deep cuts compliment the shape and add another dimension to the bowl which was launched at Homes & Interiors Scotland Exhibition 2008.
