Dimitra's Art Glass
Dimitra's Art Glass is a studio dedicated to the art of glass: stained glass, decorative panels, abstract pieces and hand-crafted works. The site presents a world where color, light and traditional glass techniques come together to give birth to unique creations.
Handcrafted stained and colored glass
The studio stands out for its mastery of the various glassmaking techniques: glass cutting, piece adjustment, tin soldering and assembly inspired by traditional stained glass.
The works on display in the portfolio show a variety of formats:
– decorative panels,
– wall compositions,
– colorful abstractions,
– small decorative hanging pieces.
Each creation highlights the transparency of glass, its nuances and its ability to transform light.
Unique creations, crafted piece by piece
No industrial production: all parts are individually crafted.
Glass is cut, polished and assembled by hand, then welded together to form a stable, harmonious decorative element.
The color palette plays an essential role:
deep blues,
translucent green,
warm ambers,
red and gold,
a variety of textures (smooth, grainy, opalescent).
Each piece is unique, marked by Dimitra’s artistic personality.
Workshops: introduction to glass and stained glass techniques
The studio also offers stained glass workshops, which are mentioned on the official website.
These enable visitors to learn the basics of working with glass:
choice of colors,
cutting parts,
contour preparation,
bracket assembly,
tin soldering.
Participants leave with their own creations, created during the workshop.
The emphasis is on the transmission of gestures and methods, within the craftswoman’s own workspace.
These workshops provide a hands-on insight into the techniques used to produce the stained-glass windows and compositions on display in his gallery.
A living gallery dedicated to glass and light
The site functions as an evolving portfolio: works are presented as art pieces, photographed in environments where light reveals their colors and textures.
The studio features:
– decorative works,
– panels inspired by classical stained glass,
– modern abstractions,
– various formats for interior decoration.
This approach lends an almost museum-like dimension to Dimitra’s work, while demonstrating the diversity of her techniques and compositions.
