The Light of Hope Handblown Glass Candela | Llewelyn Ash x The Sapphire Project
A collectible Australian glass artwork with purpose - created to illuminate, inspire and be treasured.
The Light of Hope Candela is a handblown glass piece created by South Australian artist Llewelyn Ash in collaboration with The Sapphire Project.
Inspired by the movement, fragility and beauty of the ocean, each candela is individually handcrafted with intention and care. Its sculptural form and luminous colour make it equally beautiful as a decorative artwork, candle vessel or meaningful gift.
Available in Sapphire Blue and Amber Gold, each colour reflects a different element of the ocean - Sapphire Blue echoing the depth and vitality of the sea, and Amber Gold capturing the warmth of sunlight across the water.
The Light of Hope is designed to bring beauty and meaning into the home while also making an exceptional gift for someone or something worth celebrating.
Choose it as a wedding or anniversary gift, retirement gift, milestone present, executive or client gift, commemorative piece, corporate recognition gift - or simply as a meaningful work of Australian glass art for your own home.
Proceeds from each piece support The Sapphire Project’s mission to protect and restore marine ecosystems, giving the artwork meaning beyond the object itself.
