Meet Colin Reid

Colin Reid, a pioneer in kiln cast glass, is among today's most important glass sculptors. His work features in 60 museums worldwide and numerous public commissions. A two-time British Glass Biennale People's Prize winner and Royal Society of British Sculptors Associate, Colin transforms nature and mundane objects into mesmerising optical marvels.

Colin’s work employs lost wax casting in high quality optical glass and extensive coldwork, including milling and polishing. His pieces reveal optical illusions and multiple reflections within highly polished surfaces. Colin’s recent creations, featuring saturated colours suspended in clear glass, evoke the essence of metamorphosis, earning him a coveted place in the world's most prestigious collections.
