That feeling of summer, caught in glass.
This framed artwork captures three barn swallows in 3D fused glass, lined up on a gently sagging wire — exactly as you’d see them on a warm August afternoon. Each bird is individually shaped and full of character.
The background is built from streaky glass in soft, cloudy blues, giving the piece the feel of an open sky and a real sense of light and space.
Presented in a frame and ready to hang, it suits living rooms, kitchens, hallways, or anywhere that needs a lift. It also makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves birds, nature, or the idea of summer lasting a little longer.
Every piece is handmade in Cambridge by artist Tom Gaskell — no two are ever quite the same.
