Welcome

Callum Wilkinson is a self-taught fused glass artist based in the North East of England. 

His practice involves layering up multiple pieces of glass to create imagery or patterns. He then puts the glass in a kiln which is then heated to temperatures around 800 degrees Celsius before allowing it to cool at a controlled and steady rate. Callum’s pieces can take up to 26 hours to make but other pieces such as bowls and vases can take up to 50 hours as they need to be fired for a second time. He takes inspiration from the work of Antoni Gaudi as well as his trips to South Devon which are seen in his nature inspired pieces. Callum also tends to use a range of different coloured transparent glass as when the sun hits the glass it brings the colours out and creates an effect on the surface the piece is sitting on. 

Callum completed a Foundation Year course for Art, Media and Design in 2023 at Durham Sixth Form Centre where he also spent 6 months between 2024 and 2025 as an Emerging Artist in Residence, providing workshops for glass and ceramics.
