"At first glance it’s possible to mistake Karl Harron’s work for ceramic, and intriguing ceramic work at that, given his creations are glass, but without the transparent quality we associate with that material. The finished products reflect the complex processes involved in their making, playing on translucency, light and physical depth that elevate this work to art-form." Carol O’Callaghan Editor.

" Harron's status within the world of Irish glass was recently confirmed by the purchase of yet another piece of his work by the National Museum of Ireland for its permanent collection. This, for any artist, is a mark of high achievement. Not only is it highly flattering, but it is a mark of recognition that the work is important in a wider context. It makes the artist part of something bigger, a story going forward into history."
