It’s not real, don’t worry. Let’s take the time to appreciate the craftsmanship in these hand blown glass spider sculptures! Created by Lampwork artist Nikita Drachuk, these glass spiders come in different species, each so stunningly realistic that it could strike fear at first glance. Laughing Squid has more details:
Glass Symphony is a three-generation family business dedicated to an art that takes years of training.
Glass Symphony» is a small family private studio. We’ve been engaged with glass figures for three generations. My grandpa taught this craft to my father who in turn taught me. …We deal with art called ‘lampwork’. It is the art of making glass figurines melted in the flame of a gas burner glass. This is the process of creating exclusive glass figurines and compositions. They are exclusive because all the compositions are handmade.
These and other glass creatures are available for purchase through Drachuk’s Etsy shop.
