My name is Eoin Deasy and I am a self taught glass blower and flame worker. The name of my company is Calcifer Glass Art, which speaks of the magic of alchemy.

 

For the last year I've worked from a studio in Wellington. I now feel that I am creating one off pieces of art, no two the same, I feel that there are always ways of doing things differently and I love executing new techniques. 

Working with glass is not only beautiful but is rewarding and skillfull. For the most part I am inspired by the natural beauty, in abundance, around us. Capturing what I love, or a scene, even a feeling within a piece is special.

I recently set up my first stall at Luminate Festival and got great reactions. People were fascinated by the colours, techniques and beauty of the glass and most had never seen a custom handcrafted piece of glass art before. 

I have been working hard and have come up with some interesting new techniques.

I am now interested in finding different mediums to share what I love doing. I am also taking comissions and have stock items for sale. 

 

Thanks for reading.
