Teal, Mint and Green Polka Dot Vase

Opaque glass colours are overlapped while the piece is hot to create dots on the surface. As the bubble expands, the dots stretch and distort according to the form, capturing the movement inherent in the hot glass process.

This piece is part of the Pride in Craft 2026 display at Craft Ontario's Queen Street West location. Works will be shipped after the feature is completed at the end of June. Please reach out to shop@craftontario.com if you require earlier shipping or pick-up.

Lindsey Claire Adelman is an emerging glass artist and photographer from Barrie, Ontario. She attended Haliburton School of Art and Design, studying Visual and Creative Arts, Photo Arts, and Glassblowing. Her desire to continue glass working brought her to Sheridan College, where they completed a Bachelor of Craft and Design in Glass in 2019. They are currently a resident artist in the glass studio at Living Arts Centre where they continue to grow their practice. Lindsey co-owns her business, Lilac Glass, with her partner.

My glass work is driven by colour, movement and maximalism. Through a combination of glassblowing, hot sculpting and flameworking, I create a varied collection of work imbued with whimsy and queer joy. My latest series consists of bold surfaces with dots and lines layered, stretching and distorting to create a psychedelic effect that echoes the movement inherent in the hot glass process.  The resulting pieces are playful with a retro feel that blend both form and function.This collection embodies a queer rebellion against minimalist aesthetics, expressed in different forms and colourways.
