Glass is a fantastic medium to work with. A moving fluid transparent material that you can take away from the heat and cool down to leave it in whatever shape you desire and the thrill of the process makes it all the more exhilarating. Jane Charles Studio Glass first set up in Edinburgh in 1987 before moving down to Newcastle when she also opened her first gallery. Jane creates a wide range of exquisite sculptural pieces, perfume bottles, paperweights, bowls and vases. Each piece is unique, free blown in 24% lead glass.
