› THE STUDIO
Divito Studios specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of architectural art glass as well as the conservation and restoration of historic Irish stained glass. Bianca Divito, multi award-winning artist and director of the company undertakes commissions to design and make decorative glass in a wide range of settings including commercial, domestic, educational, cultural, healthcare and religious environments. Commissions can vary in size from smaller domestic decorative glass commissions to large scale public art commissions.
Although most of the work is made to commission for architectural environments, Bianca occasionally produces unique glass wall art for exhibitions also. By incorporating new materials such as crystal, semi-precious stones and handmade glass, coupled with innovative techniques like applying gold leaf to glass and using copper foiling techniques decoratively, these autonomous wall pieces have become a must have addition to both new and traditional homes.
