Portfolio first. Commission-led.

Built as a portfolio for bespoke glass sculpture commissions, live demonstrations and direct enquiries.

Selected portfolio

Scenes shaped for movement, memory and light.

Sporting Memories

Supporters, heroes and moments that belong to a crowd.

Sporting commissions work best when the pose, shirt, stance and smallest details feel personal. Craig turns those details into a glass scene with presence.

Venues And Scale

Racecourses, stadiums and places remembered in miniature.

Larger commissions can hold architecture, movement and multiple figures in one piece, creating a finished artwork with the detail of a model and the clarity of glass.

Figure Work

Balance, impact and gesture caught at the decisive instant.

From boxing scenes to football figures, each body is shaped around movement. The sculpture needs to feel alive before it feels decorative.

Commission-led

Start with the memory. Build the object around it.

A commission can begin with a photograph, a venue, a player, a race, a wedding detail or a family story. Craig develops the sculpture around the details that matter most.

Artist and demonstrations

The studio is part of the story.

Craig's practice is direct and personal: one maker, one flame, one object made for a specific person or place. Live demonstrations and presentation work are available by enquiry.
