Last Thursday, the TBBs were invited to the home of glass artisans Pam and Oded Ravek of OR DESIGN glassworks to check out their main floor renos and their latest glass projects.
You can see a bit of their kitchen reno in this picture of the amazing glass chandelier above their island that they designed and created.
Pictures just don’t do it justice – the iridescent effect on the glass pieces is so beautiful, and gives the chandelier so much interest and dimension. You can see a little bit of the iridescent effect in this picture.
They also designed and created the vessel sinks in their powder room and basement bathroom.
As well as the accent tiles in the basement shower.
Pam & Oded transform pieces of glass into fabulous works of art using a variety of techniques. These are just a few of my favourite pieces…
Close-ups…
I’m thinking this glass lamp shade would make a great wall sconce.
Pretty and functional glass :-)
Sometimes Oded will put scrap pieces of glass into the kiln and melt them down into small piece that he puts into the gravel in their backyard. I picked out a few pieces to bring home.
Pam and Oded are so kind and thoughtful – they gave each of the TBBs a beautiful business card holder. I think Pam knows that I love purple :-)
If you’d like to read more about Pam and Oded and see more of their work, check out this post that I wrote about them last year. And if you’re in Ottawa and would like to see their work in person, they recently did an installation at the Soho Parkway on Parkdale. They also created the Art Glass Memorial Light honouring Holocaust victims that’s on permanent display at the Greenberg Families Library in the Soloway Jewish Community Centre.
Hubby and I are meeting with Pam & Oded on Thursday to discuss a possible glass project for our master bathroom makeover. Maybe a set of sconces… or a chandelier… or a glass divider between the toilet and the tub. I’m looking forward to hearing their ideas :-)
