Kaska Harasym is a Polish glass artist known for her innovative techniques and focus on sustainability. After five years working in glass studios in Spain, she developed a distinctive approach combining lampworking, fusing, and casting. With a focus on glass upcycling, she describes as “recycling with soul.”
Neocrystals, explores memory and transformation through reclaimed lead glass crystal vessels, in which she “talks to ghosts.” The project began with a set of damaged traditional crystal dishes she inherited after the death of a close family member. She melted and reshaped them into new forms resembling ghostly echoes of the past, stretched by time and given new life. Reflects on the passage of time and the emergence of the new from the old, serving as Harasym’s personal dialogue with the tradition of glassmaking.
