Urve Manuel
A Stone's Throw Glass Works has been offering the one of kind glass art of Urve Manuel since 2005.
"Not all people will climb the mountain to see the stark whiteness of the snow against a cobalt blue sky, nor will they all wake up to watch the sun strike the horizon and turn the mountains a deep fuchsia, but these people might still want to be a part of those scenes in a less physical way. My art allows me to share with others what gives me such deep joy." ~Urve Manuel
Urve Manuel is continuously amazed at the beauty of nature. From the tiniest Calypso orchid on the limestone barrens of the northern tip of Newfoundland to the osprey soaring over her studio in Gillams, Manuel finds inspiration for her stained glass panels and fused glass sculpture and functional objects. Her studio may be occupied by a herd of freestanding glass caribou, or iridescent squid immortalized in shimmering glass platters. As much as colour, Manuel finds that the texture of glass is important to her compositions because of the way it interacts with light making the glass come alive and change throughout the day.
Product description:
Urve Manuel makes art for the domestic and corporate environment from stained glass, fused and kiln-cast glass and pâte de verre. Windows and independent panels in stained glass are characterized by harmonious lead lines. Her fused glass products include dory shaped gravy boats, bowls, dishes and platters in a variety of luscious colours and styles as well as freestanding animals and even window panels of children's drawings. The pâte de verre technique allows Manuel to combine the ability to mould glass in a variety of shapes with the delicate texture of granulated sugar.
