Laser Art

Crystal Laser Art is fast becoming the hot news in the world of collectables.

This innovative and relatively new art form never fails to captivate those who come across it for the first time all begging the inevitable question 'How is it done?'

The technique involved in creating a delicate three- dimensional image within the interior of a solid crystal block was first perfected by the Russian military during the cold war.

We believe the first use of this technology was for making cross hairs inside the lens of tank sights.

At the end of the cold war the various teams of scientists, who were no longer required by the depleted Russian Forces, and who were without a doubt some of the finest in their field, sought to take this pioneering technology to new heights.

By combining their expertise with the talents of a few select Russian artists a new and exciting art form began to evolve.

The resulting product- a simple but classic crystal paperweight with a mystifying three-dimensional image caught within it.

To describe the process in simple terms, a laser beam is projected at pre-programmed points into a solid piece of crystal, creating precise micro size points in the glass resembling bubbles.

In actual fact they are not bubbles but tiny inner destruction points.

These minute points are positioned close together and gradually form a perfect multi-dimensional image inside the crystal block, the facets of which remain optically clear and unblemished.

Over the last few years the concept has been developed and perfected.

Using the cutting edge in laser technology and CAD programming together with the ability, foresight and undisputed talent of the artists the quality of these enchanting images is second to none.

Only the finest optical crystal is used and each design is available in a number of different sizes.

The four standard cube sizes measure as follows:

Small (30x30x40mm), Medium (40x40x60mm), Large (50x50x80mm) and Extra Large (60x60x100mm).

Other specialist sizes are also available, including the impressive XX-Large block (100x100x150mm) which can be obtained by special order.

Prices typically range from £29.95 for the smallest cubes to £450 for the XX- Large block.

The laser art process has also made it possible to reproduce an exact replica of a photograph suspended as a 2-dimensional image in a crystal tablet measuring approximately 60x80x25mm.

This is a perfect way to create a permanent memory of a loved one, pet or to mark an event or occasion.

A personalisation service is also available should you wish to add text to one of the existing designs.
