About Point Line Plane Glassware

Point Line Plane Glassware

Handcrafted glassware by artist Alex Hoare inspired by things of the sea

I have been an artist for over 20 years, working in a variety of disciplines including textiles, performance, art installation and for the past 10 years glass. I was inspired to start working with glass because of some tiny fragments of beautiful blue glass I was shown by an archaeologist. This glass was over 1000 years old and I was amazing that these delicate fragile pieces had survived in the earth so long. I was hooked, and wilts the money I won for professional development as part of that project I started to learn how to work with glass.

In 2015 I set up Point Line Plane Glassware to sell my work to a wider audience. My main inspiration for the collections I have produced under this label are the ever changing landscapes of the British Isles, and particular the coast in places that I love and revisit often, such as Cornwall and Caithness.

I now work from my studio in a tiny village, Bowerchalke, in the Chalke Valley in Wiltshire. Where I fill my days with glass making, tending my garden and walking my dog.

I hope you enjoy my collections and please contact me if you had any individual commissions you would like me to consider.
