Creative and carefully curated gifts that are a delight to give and a delight to receive.
Winchester's Studio on the Common is your shop for gorgeous Houston Llew Spiritiles
A perfect and personal gift to delight travelers, readers, new parents, to celebrate anniversaries, retirement, a new home, to say I love you, to provide encouragement, to celebrate all of life’s important moments.
Houston Llew is an Atlanta based artist who creates beautiful works of art out of fused molten glass, copper and wood. Every Spiritile created reflects a piece of a story. These icons stretch our memory and bring to mind the people we love, the things we cherish, and the passions we pursue. When collected, Spiritiles become a montage of moments that make us smile, laugh, remember, and dare to dream.
When Houston first started his artistic journey, he sought a medium to animate this inspiration. Vitreous enamel, the art of glass heat-fused to metal, is as ancient as Mesopotamia, with infamous historical artworks in royal jewelry and imperial treasures. It is an illustrious but little-known medium that Houston cast in a new form. With its metallic base as canvas and its myriad glass colors as, “paint” what makes this work unique is the story wrapped around the sides of each piece. Some Spiritiles quote authors and poets, other philosophers and fellow artists, but every piece is designed to speak to our life and reach our emotive self.
Creating Good! Houston uses his unique gifts to “create art that inspires, uplifts, and brings a hopeful connection to life.”
