Details like fluffy down feathers and friendly eyes capture the cute nature of this Antarctic bird. Our Scottish glass artisans employ centuries-old techniques to sculpt each intricate animal design by hand.
Crafting Method: The penguin's body is made first by melting black and white glass together. This is shaped with a wet newspaper pad and the beak is added and cut to shape and size. The eyes are applied using a stick of black glass colour which is heated with a gas torch, and then stuck in the right position.
