Bring Glass to Life!
Paul Crawford is an artist who brings glass
to life in exquisite custom etched glass art designs. His attention
to detail and specialized techniques combined with the intrinsic
beauty of glass create elegance attainable in no other medium.
The versatility of etched glass or carved glass provides a wide
range of creative interior design applications. You can dramatically
enhance your business or home décor by transforming front
door entrances, stair railings, and indoor partitions into functional
pieces of beautiful custom sand blasted glass art work.. Decorative
glass can be used throughout your home to add a personal touch
to your interior design in an etched glass window, a funky custom
mirror or a playful custom shower door.
Paul has created sand blasted glass art
for large scale residential and commercial installations as well
as small corporate awards and personal gifts such as the unique
glass plaques awarded at the 1986 Calgary Olympic Torch Parade.
Although Paul’s specialty
is sandblasted glass design, he collaborates with other glass artists
to combine sandblasted, stained, fused and slumped glass features.
Paul has created limited edition gallery pieces and one of kind
museum pieces that feature the designs of Northwest Coast Native
artist Harold Alfred.
Whether your tastes prefer the simple or
elaborate, decorative glass is a beautiful and versatile medium
that can transform or conform to your existing home décor.
Glass is an ideal decorating choice that can be put to a variety
of practical uses from subtle etched glass accents to stunning
carved glass focal points.
Personalize your home décor with
a custom glass tabletop or elegant interior partition. A sandblasted
glass motif is a work of art, and some hand carved glass pieces
are veritable masterpieces. You can reflect your style with an
etched glass mural, front door entry way, shower door, window,
or mirror, each skillfully designed to ensure that the glass
elements in your home are both compatible and unique.
A simple banister or stair railing can
become an important decorative element in your interior design,
while adding necessary security to a stairway or landing. The
impeccable construction of our installations makes the choice
of glass as viable as choosing wood or metal. Each piece of sandblasted
art glass is designed according to your specific structural requirements
while keeping your artistic tastes in mind.
Harold Alfred
Artist Harold Alfred is
a member of the Kwakwaka`wakw (formerly Kwakuitl) Nation. His
Northwest Coast native art combines the disciplines of strong
ancestral traditions with his own fresh contemporary vision.
The lines and forms that clearly depict strong traditional native
designs, stories, history and art forms are respectfully preserved
in his distinctive style. He observes the high standards set
by the past masters and applies the same care, quality and workmanship
that are true to the Kwakuitl native art form. Harold Alfred’s designs
can be found on jewelry, copper bowls, and custom sandblasted

America.
The unique attributes of
glass provide an evocative medium that allow these traditional
aboriginal designs to be integrated with modern interior design, home décor and corporate identity.

designs are featured in majestic front door entrances, stair
railings, etched glass windows, beautiful custom mirrors and decorative
glass lighting bringing beauty and cultural significance to rooms
and meeting places of all kinds. These designs on carved glass or
