Elliot Walker Commissions
Elliot Walker, who won the second season of Netflix show, Blown Away in 2021 showcases his artwork internationally. He is one of a handful of glassblowers who focuses on sculpting molten glass at exceptionally high temperatures - a challenging and intense experience that demands consummate skill, dexterity and speed.
Elliot loves a challenge and has worked on a number of personalised commissions with London Glassblowing. Among these is an extra large cocoa pod, which was sent to America. Each individual element of the still life artwork has been freeblown and can be moved independently to arrange a bespoke composition.
If you would like to commission a piece by Elliot, or have an idea you would like to discuss with a member of our team, please contact gallery@londonglassblowing.co.uk
