Need to Know

Each Glass Cathedral is handmade by the artist, and individually titled, signed and dated.
** As such each box will vary slightly from the one shown (the colouring and position of the boy, the exact graffiti).**

They come packed in a lovely bespoke kraft box.

Size and Scale
Box: 30 x 20 x 8cm (12 x 8 x 3”) | Scale of scene: 1:87

Editions and Customisation
Glass Cathedrals are open editions, made to order.
For some designs there is optional personalisation of the gender, skin and hair colours, included in the price.

Display and Care
Glass Cathedrals have a french cleat built into the top back of the frame.
They hang on a nail or French cleat (provided) on the wall, or can sit on a shelf.
They should be displayed away from direct sunlight and avoid humid conditions eg. bathrooms.
Glass can be taken out and cleaned with normal glass cleaner.

Returns
Because the artworks are custom made, we can’t accept returns except if the order is incorrect or arrives damaged.

Media
The miniature scenes are housed in white-painted wooden boxes, fronted by glass.
The model-railway figurines are painted, and at times augmented with clay, paper, and other ephemera such as specks of glitter and tiny sequins. The interiors are often layered with glitter.
Because each order is handmade, they may vary slightly from photos.

If personalised skin colour is chosen, it will be non-returnable

"Travel far, travel light" is an artwork that transports you to an enchanting parallel universe - one that reflects back the best of ourselves and the world we live in.

A tiny biker traverses the forested mountainside - swift as the wind, quiet as the forest...

“Your creations may be small in size, but they have provided moments of wonder and courage for those of us standing on the other side of the glass." Vicky W, NYC
