A Canadian Artist will  custom create and infuse glass using a small amount of your loved one's ashes, making a one of a kind piece for you and your family to cherish for years. As with any custom creation, your product may vary slightly from the images shown. Your loved ones ashes, sometimes create small bubbles inside your memorial. We like to call them Spirit Bubbles. Each piece will vary depending on how the ashes interact with the glass and heat.

BLOWN GLASS 

Once the ashes are received by the artist, they carefully sift a small amount onto a metal plate. 2100 degree glass is then gathered out of the furnace, onto a rod, and the molten glass is rolled over the ashes on the metal plate. The glass cooled slightly before more molten glass is gathered over the ashes, which encases the ashes inside the glass. It is then placed into an oven to cool and strengthen.

LAMP WORKING

Narrow rods of glass are melted with the flame tip of a torch. The molten glass is wound around a mandrel (thin, stainless steel rod). The removal of this mandrel will therefore leave a hole through the center, creating a bead.  While the glass is around the mandrel it is turned into different positions to enable it to take shape.
