Welcome to Escape Glass - Where Creativity Breaks Free!

We formed Escape Glass Ltd. in 2003 and have never looked back. We are so grateful for the chance to bring your designs and ideas to life through glass.

Established over 20 years ago, Escape Glass is a small and dedicated team of artisans based in the enchanting city of Invercargill, New Zealand. We specialize in crafting exquisite glass art and bespoke glass splashbacks, meticulously handcrafted to elevate your spaces with elegance and creativity. 

Escape Glass manufacture what is currently New Zealand's only toughened slumped glass.

Hand crafted and customised designs help us to tailor glass designs to your needs. Our one of a kind glass products have the potential to bring the extra wow factor to your home or business.

Inspiration for our hand crafted designs are drawn from New Zealand’s stunning  nature, sea, birds, landscape & Kiwiana culture. Each piece is bespoke and unique.

Every project is custom made. We don’t have pre-made sheets in stock, in fact we don’t have any stock as no two clients or projects are the same. This allows for greater design creativity and flexibility, every job is ‘bespoke’.
No two pieces are ever the same. 

Between us we have over 25 years experience in the glass industry, slumping in particular,  and have developed and grown the product to what you see today. Something we are proud to have displayed in your homes and businesses.

As our slumped glass is all custom made on site, at our Invercargill factory, we are able to work around your range hoods, cupboard and electrical fitting needs. We are pleased to say our glass meets all NZ safety standards and is extremely versatile, practical and low maintenance. 

In addition to glass slumping we offer printed vinyl images on glass (these are perfect for wall art and splash backs), vinyl branding elements, etching and custom graphics from our in house graphic designer. 

Contact us today for a free measure and quotes or to discuss custom glass designs, we can't wait to turn your ideas into a reality. 

At Escape Glass, we understand the transformative power of glass as a medium. Our journey began two decades ago, when some passionate individuals came together, driven by a shared vision to create unique glass installations that push the boundaries of craftsmanship. With unwavering dedication and a commitment to excellence, we have honed our skills over the years, perfecting the art of handcrafted glasswork.

Our expertise lies not only in creating mesmerising glass art pieces but also in crafting stunning glass splashbacks that effortlessly combine form and function. Each glass splashback we produce is meticulously handcrafted, paying attention to every detail to ensure a flawless finish. From intricate designs to vibrant colour palettes, we work closely with our clients to bring their visions to life, turning their kitchens and bathrooms into captivating spaces.

Escape Glass takes immense pride in our artisanal approach to glassmaking. We believe that true beauty lies in the delicate artistry of handcrafted pieces. They breathe life into the glass, transforming it into captivating works of art that radiate elegance and grace.

As a small team, we cherish the collaborative spirit that thrives within our studio. We partner with architects, interior designers, and individuals seeking to infuse their spaces with a touch of artistic splendour. By working closely together, we ensure that every custom-made glass installation, whether it be a mesmerising art piece or a stunning splashback, harmonises seamlessly with its surroundings, creating a truly captivating atmosphere.

We now collaborate with local artists and photographers for all our project. This means your imagery or the inspiration for all of our art is locally based and rooted in Southland. 

Dot Mullay is our local Tui expert taking amazing images for us to draw from or use in our images on glass splashbacks etc. Thanks Dot, we love what you do!

Photographer

Dot was born and grew up in Otautau in Western Southland. The view from her home was of the Takitimu mountains, the Aparima river and the Longwoods bush. Dot was given her first camera when she was 11 years old and quickly learned about practice and persistence and this has turned into a lifelong passion for photographing flora and fauna.

At the heart of my photography has been her continued and consistent photographic exploration for over 60 years, and excitement in sharing with others what she can see looking through the lens of her camera, and for people to see and experience the awesome wonders and beauty of Creation.
