Winnipeg-based artist Thill Glassworks has been steadily building his name as one of Canada’s most respected heady glass artists, known for his clean execution, precise shaping, and consistent ability to balance sculptural work with functional design. His collaborations continue to connect the Canadian scene with some of the most skilled artists internationally.
This 18mm 4-hole collab Octopus Slide with Burtoni Glass brings together two highly refined sculptural styles in a clean, functional form.
Burtoni Glass, who has been working in glass since 2010 has earned a strong reputation as one of the most skilled sculptors in the scene, known for some of the most realistic animal work, particularly his highly detailed birds. On this piece, he brings that same level of detail into an octopus form, paired with Thill’s precise construction and clean shaping of the slide. The result is a cohesive collab slide that blends a realism-driven sculpture with functional execution, making for a heavy hitter 1/1 heady piece.
