Jean-Pierre (J.P.) Canlis, known for his serene interpretations of nature in glass, has just crossed a new boundary. His Wheat Installation translates the mundane into elegance through a unique display of glass. Each stalk of wheat is hand made by the glass artist who resides in Seattle, Washington and runs his studio and gallery space in downtown Seattle. The Wheat can be scaled down to run down the center of a dining room table or fill a niche as tall as seven feet in height!
The Raindrop Chandelier is a modern, fresh feel to the traditional “chandelier.” Inspired by the endless winters of the Pacific Northwest, the Raindrop Chandelier has the possibilities for large-scale installations in public spaces to private home centerpieces.

The Bamboo Installations are also handmade and a beautiful alternative to wall art or room dividers. Their soft glow and organic feel are peaceful and calming.

What happens when your wheat stalks get dusty? How the heck do you clean them without breaking them?

Actually, I worked in a museum with a large display of glass wheat like this. Honestly, there’s no real way of dusting them, but they can be washed (carefully) same as any other glass. There’s a woman in Saskatchewan who has been creating stuff like this for about 15 years:

Simply dust the installation with a feather duster and compressed air for the base!
