WORCESTER Cathedral has partnered up with an internationally renowned glass artist to design a special edition of hand-crafted in-memory pieces to remember and celebrate lost loved-ones.
Allister Malcolm has designed perpetual flame pieces which symbolise that the memory of our loved ones live on.
Each flame is unique and made using Allister’s signature style of hot sculpting techniques encasing cane work, glittering gold and colour.
Cathy Sloan fundraising director: “We are so excited to be working with Allister whose work can be seen in galleries worldwide.
“Allister is well known for his glass art and for his appearances as a mentor on the TV series Make It at Market.
“Allister also shares our passion for the environment and sustainability making him the perfect partner for this project, as his studio moves towards increasingly sustainable practices.”
Stourbridge based Allister said: “I really enjoy working on projects that allow our glass to be appreciated by different audiences.
“It was an honour to be approached to develop something unique for the Cathedral.
“The idea of creating something inspired by the process of lighting a votive really appealed to me.”
The interim dean of Worcester, reverend canon Dr Stephen Edwards, said every day in the Cathedral hundreds of candles are lit as a sign of prayer, remembrance, and thanksgiving.
