I’m Lisa Swerling, an artist making tiny worlds in boxes called Glass Cathedrals. Inspired by the power of the miniature to inspire and move people, I’ve spent over 20 years making thousands of these artboxes – in Cape Town, California, and London.

Glass Cathedrals are exhibited all over the world – from international art fairs to more unconventional spots like the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and annually during the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado. But the majority of Glass Cathedrals are commissioned by ‘ordinary’ people – people like you or me.
