Amulets of Light Exhibition

Exhibition runs through May 17, 2026

In a world filled with negativity, uncertainty and emotional overload, glass art is a tool for light, connection and personal empowerment. Drawing on ancient traditions of amulet-making, the workshops combined the magical properties of color and symbol with the elemental power of fire and light to create radiant glass art.

Throughout human history, people from every culture have created symbolic objects believed to hold protective or empowering energy. From ancient Egyptian scarabs and Nordic runes to Middle Eastern hamsas and healing crystals, these artifacts are either worn, carried, or placed in sacred spaces. The amulets serve as tangible links to the unseen, offering strength, comfort, and spiritual focus. The Amulets of Light project bridges this timeless tradition with the luminous medium of fused glass, a material that itself embodies transformation, resilience, and clarity. Chelsea approaches glass not only as a material but as a metaphor; something both fragile and strong, transparent and mysterious, able to reflect and refract light. She guides her workshop participants to see glass not simply as a craft but as a vessel for intention. The kiln becomes an alchemical space where ideas are made physical and energy is transformed.
