the shapes and colours within, as well as adding a
further dimension of reflection to the overall impact.
Easy to keep clean, just a wipe with a damp cloth is all
that may be needed. Just sit back and enjoy the addition
to your garden.
We have already been fortunate enough to have had
our sculptures featured at Chelsea Flower Show and
on display at Cotswold Sculpture Park in 2022. We
are now designing pieces to have on display at RHS
Prairie Garden in Sussex and additional sculpture parks
throughout 2023 - so do look out for new pieces coming
to our website and social media.
Imagine a glass and metal sculpture in your garden
as distinctive as the ones pictured here. To begin the
process, all you need to do is contact us and arrange to
come and visit our studio for a chat over coffee. Bring
any ideas you may have with you, and we can go from
there. We will start with design sketches and, once we
have your approval, will move into the making process.
You can even pop in to see how the design is building -
exciting times!
We love to work with potential clients, discussing their
ideas, colour choices and thoughts for their design to
get a good understanding of what they’re visualising. We
add in our experience and knowledge to create just the
individual piece of art to compliment your garden space.
You can be assured we take pride in the high quality and
impact of the finished sculpture.
You can arrange to visit our Galiani Glass Art studio
outside Poole, and you will find us at our own solo
exhibition at Walford Mill from Wednesday 5th July –
Sunday 30th July 2023.

Opposite: ‘Mystic Ocean’ - The glass rondel is made using beautiful
transparent sea colours cut with skill and precision and capturing the
movement of the sea. Added texture is created with individually placed
pieces of glass. It is set in a highly polished stainless steel frame which
reflects the colours of the glass and the setting in which it’s placed.
Above left and right: ‘Water Planet’ – Glass rondel set in a mild steel
frame. This technique uses fine glass powders that blend and flow
creating a wonderful organic feel to the glass. Again, the frame was
designed and made by Ted Edley. Not only does it look amazing in the
sunlight, it packs a visual punch in the snow too.
