Adam Aaronson has been at the heart of British studio glass for more than 25 years, first as a gallery owner, discovering and promoting new glass talent, and subsequently as an artist in his own right. In 1996 Adam established his own glass blowing studio in Earl's Court, London: Aaronson Noon Glass Studio, from which he currently works with a team of skilled glassblowers. Adjacent to the studio is Zest Gallery, opened in 2003, with the dual goals of showcasing his own artistry, whilst continuing to bring outstanding British glass to a wider audience.
Chrystalla’s fascination between opposites and contradictions to form hybrids and paradoxes, has been the driving theme behind her work for the last few years. Glass as a material, the epitome of contradiction, allows her to explore and express this keen interest on a multitude of levels. Coming from a Fine Art background and using a diverse range of techniques (such as deep sandblasting, water-jet cutting, blowing, kiln-work, laminating and lamp-working), Chrystalla has developed a personal approach to translating her ideas into art glass, achieving a simultaneous balance and conflict between modern and traditional practices.
