Bubblewrap in Gold

Bubblewrap in Gold is a hand-blown and sculpted vase created from pink and gold glass, with a mirrored interior by the British artist Allister Malcolm. Playful yet elegant, Malcolm has formed oversized bubbles on the exterior of this handcrafted and blown piece. The title of the artwork shows the artist's sense of fun, however, the use of the mirrored interior, adds glamour and a serious edge to the final item.

Malcolm has become a renowned craftsman within his field. He is continuously expanding upon his portfolio of handmade, blown and contemporary glass artwork, welcoming all manor of commissioned work from corporate and private clients. His strong design sense combined with an impeccable standard of finish has created a dedicated collector base. All work is individually signed and dated by the artist.

Malcolm has exhibited extensively throughout the UK & the USA and has artworks in the collections of the Imagine Museum, Florida, USA and the Glassmuseum Lette, Germany. He has been awarded the position of Honorary Freeman by the Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers of London and has worked on a collaborative residency at the Corning Museum of Glass. He was appointed a Trustee of The British Glass Foundation for organising the fundraising event “The Worlds Longest Glassmaking Demonstration”, which involved Malcolm blowing glass for over 26 hours to claim the title, raising over £10,000 and gaining huge attention for the charity’s objectives.

In the artist's own words;

“Acquiring the skills to produce handcrafted glass to a professional standard has been a long battle. This journey has taken me twenty years. I now strive to push this medium of glass and explore the versatility that it offers utilising all the skills I have gained over the years. Hopefully, when you view the glass gallery it will convey the enjoyment it has given me to create these works!”.
