Stewart Hearn has established a professional practice of thirty years. Commitment to the craft has made him a highly respected and award-winning artist, craftsman, and designer, specialising in bespoke handblown glass. His work demands high standards of design and exacting technical knowledge. Using traditional skills, he interprets his contemporary visions and exhibits in many contexts and countries. Hearn’s level of excellence was acknowledged when he was Winner of The Gold Medal, at the third (Hejian) Craft Glass Creation & Design International Competition, in China. He also acts as a consultant for production and bespoke commissioning, contract work and restoration, making glass for others – some of whom have been clients for over 18 years.
