Butterfly made of glass

This glass butterfly was designed by Glass Artist Claudia Kuyken and together with her husband: Glass Artist Gerrit Lavrijsen. Claudia has set up a line of glass butterflies. Each glass butterfly is made of transparent glass without color, after which Gerrit subtly sprinkles it with a mix of colored glass powders. Then the artwork goes into the Kiln. This creates a beautiful shiny play of colors of light. Each piece is unique in color and 30 cm wide.

A butterfly symbolizes patience, trust and the realization that everything will blossom when the time is right. Butterflies also evoke a feeling of joy, lightness and freedom in us. Butterflies are cheerful and flutter from flower to flower. Their message is often full of enthusiasm. Because butterflies are messengers for the soul, butterflies are often also signs of deceased loved ones.
