We are honoured to present a special collaboration between The Sapphire Project and celebrated Australian glass artist Llewelyn Ash. This exclusive collection of hand-blown glass artworks is inspired by the movement, fragility, and beauty of our ocean environments.

Each piece is created by Llewelyn in his South Australian studio, using traditional glass-blowing techniques to evoke the rhythmic forms of the sea. A portion of proceeds from each artwork will support The Sapphire Project’s mission to protect and restore our marine ecosystems, with production costs retained by the artist.

This collaboration is a meeting of art and purpose - a testament to the role creativity plays in shaping a more sustainable future.
