Ione Thorkelsson is one of Canada's recognized glass artists. Winner of the 2010 Governor General Saidye Bronfman Award, Ione has spent a lifetime exploring glass sculpture. After twenty years of making vivid blown glass pieces, Thorkelsson turned to master kiln cast glass. 

Largely self-taught and operating a one-woman studio for nearly forty years in relative isolation has forced her to be technically innovative.  As a consequence, she has acquired through time a formidable knowledge of all aspects of glass art.
Her works have been exhibited across North America, Europe and Asia.


In this video for the Saidye Bronfman Award, Ione Thorkelsson discusses her transition from blown glass to her signature cast glass technique.
