Cut, crafted, fired and finished at her Launceston studio, these uniquely beautiful works represent the next step in the complex field of fused-glass design, and are available as part of Jo's custom design service.

From her trademark, ocean inspired motifs, to geometrically inspired collections, these new works update the classic concept of the chandelier for the 21^st century interior design market, and on Friday 9^th and Saturday 10^th February, Jo will be showcasing each of these stunning new collections at her Launceston studio gallery.

The launch also marks the beginning of a new creative partnership between Jo Downs Handmade Glass and design company Northern Lights, who have been creating inspiring lighting solutions since 1987, and have worked with Jo to create integrated lighting for her new range of chandeliers.
