Gift Shop Gander - Featured artist, Cindy Wright
Each month, CASM highlights one artist with items currently available in the Gift Shop. Cindy creates glass beads by melting glass rods. Each bead is individually hand crafted, shaped and decorated in an 800c flame, then annealed for 24 hours to ensure the glass remains stable. The beads are then used to make jewellery and to enhance high quality 305 stainless steel cutlery. Read more.
