Thill Glassworks X Burtoni - Encalmo Bird Skull Collab Pendant

Winnipeg-based artist Thill Glassworks has been steadily building his name as one of Canada’s most respected heady glass artists, recognized for his clean execution, precise shaping, and consistent ability to balance sculptural work with functional design. His collaborative projects continue to bridge the Canadian scene with some of the most skilled glass artists working today.

This Encalmo Bird Skull Collab Pendant with Burtoni Glass brings together two distinct but complementary approaches in a compact sculptural wearable.

Burtoni Glass, who has been working in glass since 2010, is widely known for his incredibly realistic animal work, especially his highly detailed birds that showcase his control and attention to form. Here, that same sculptural realism is translated into a bird skull design, paired with Thill’s vibrant encalmo sections and clean finishing. The combination creates a piece that balances colour-forward glasswork with detailed sculptural shaping, the perfect additon to any serious collector.
