eirian studio glass
Hereford
Hands on glass design and manufacture. Partners Paul Edward Brown and Rowena
Lloyd established eirian studio glass in 1989 ... Based in the Welsh border town
of Hay on Wye, we design, make and sell handmade glass, from our combined
workshop and gallery. Hot Warm Cold The glass furnace is at the heart of the
workshop. From here we gather Hot glass at temperatures of 1150 degrees and
above, the glass is then shaped, blown and decorated by hand using many
different techniques. The glass kilns allow us to use the Warm glass techniques
of fusing and slumping. Temperatures of 750 degrees allow the glass to gently
fuse and slump the glass. The Cold glass workshop is where we cut, grind,
polish, engrave, drill, sandblast and ....... It is always the relationship
between these processes, the material and the maker that shapes our glass
designs.
