Memorial Glass

A Personal Touch in Every Piece – Handcrafted Glass Art and Memorial Creations by Thorlak

Welcome to Viking Glass, an independent glass studio based in the UK, where I, Thorlak, handcraft unique glass jewellery, ornaments, and heartfelt memorial items. As a dedicated glass artist, my passion lies in creating one-of-a-kind pieces that carry deep personal meaning—especially those that hold the precious ashes of loved ones, whether cherished pets or beloved family members.

Every item is made using traditional glassmaking techniques, ensuring quality, beauty, and authenticity. My memorial glass pieces are created with the utmost care and sensitivity. The cremation ashes are not just sprinkled or fused onto the surface—they are fully encased within the glass, preserved forever inside the artwork itself. This delicate process creates a stunning visual effect and serves as a lasting tribute to the life and memory of someone special.

The journey begins with you sending a small amount of ashes, handled with respect and compassion. I then carefully incorporate them into molten glass, where they become a permanent, graceful part of a pendant, sculpture, ornament, or keepsake of your choice. Swirls, sparkles, and natural patterns form around the ashes during the process, making each piece completely unique—just like the person or pet it represents.

This is more than just glass art—it's a personal, emotional service designed to offer comfort, connection, and a beautiful way to keep a loved one close.

Whether you're looking for a meaningful memorial or a timeless gift, each creation from Viking Glass is made with love, skill, and deep respect for the story behind it.
