This beautiful hand blown glass ornament is designed to look like a tree. The strands of glass on the inside of the orb form the trunk and branches of the tree, while the colourful glass pieces create the leaves. Each orb is one of a kind, no two are ever the same because they are made by hand. Glass tree ornaments are a perfect sun-catcher, table top centre piece and can be kept outside all year long. Elevate your space with a unique piece from Playful Flame Glassworks, where art meets craftsmanship.
For Nicholas and Ankeeta, glassblowing is a metaphor for marriage: a balance of heat and patience, fragility and strength. A testament to their belief that beauty emerges from life’s fiercest moments. Their love story began in the Yukon where Nicholas was traveling for work and Ankeeta was on scholarship working. When they married, they vowed to build a life—and a business—that fused their talents. In 2018, they founded Playful Flame Glassworks.
Nicholas, a second-generation glassblower graduated from Fleming Collage with an associates degree in applied arts and technology specializing in glassblowing. Ankeeta, has a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a Major in glass art from the Alberta Collage of Art and Design.
Every piece at Playful Flame Glassworks begins as a glowing gather of molten glass, pulled from a 2,100°F furnace. Nicholas’s hands move with the precision of decades, twisting, blowing, and sculpting, while Ankeeta puts the finishing touch on each piece and makes sure every piece is of the highest quality.
Our signature sun-catchers are more than ornaments; they are “light keepers.” Hung in a window, each ornament transforms sunlight into many colours, casting stories onto walls—a fleeting homage to the North’s ever-changing skies. Their glass ornaments, delicate as frost yet sturdy as the boreal forest, are heirlooms in the making.
