Houston Llew Spiritiles: Tardis, Edition 5

“Time is the most valuable thing a person can spend.” —Theophrastus

Every Spiritile has its own story that inspires, uplifts, and brings a hopeful connection to life. Handcrafted in Charleston, each is made with finely ground colored glass that is hand-painted, fused to copper in a kiln at 1500 degrees, and then wrapped around a wooden frame (see more here). Spiritiles can be hung on the wall or displayed freestanding, and withstand direct sun, humidity, and even outdoor conditions. Care and hanging information here.

Artist Statement About This Piece: Much like the legendary time machine it’s named for, Tardis has reappeared throughout the years in new editions, each one carrying a fresh perspective on time. Collectors have followed its journey from pocket watches to ornate clocks to sundials, with every version marking a unique moment in Spiritile history. True to its nature, Tardis never stays gone for long—traveling through time to return in new forms. This fall, collectors can welcome the latest chapter in its story as Tardis emerges once again.

ABOUT THE ARTIST 

Houston Llew
Charleston, South Carolina

Through fortuitous circumstances, Spiritiles creator Houston Llew met the master enamelist Zingaro and learned the craft of glass enameling. His artistry has evolved from enameled imagery to a combined image and story design. This has become the cornerstone of his work.
