Olive Can Fly

Olive Can Fly is a family-run independent business specialising in the creation of beautiful stained glass and pressed floral pieces. Custom designs available at request.

“Our  name pays tribute to one of our many rescue dogs, Olive, who is yet to meet a fence or gate that she can’t fly over with ease. For months the phrase “Olive Can Fly” was said around our house in response to her display of canine aerial acrobatics. It would make a cracking name for a band but as Jen (Owner of Olive Can Fly) couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket, it was used for the business instead.

They have joined together with one of our other makers, Lime Street Concrete to share their new collaborative range that combines concrete and glass. Recently they have been working with another of our makers Saving Ron’s Place to run workshops from Future Yard (a new music base in Birkenhead and with The Convenience Gallery. All very local and great to have all this going on in Birkenhead.

“Our examples will be the raw materials we use to create our products. We’d be discussing the processes of using two materials to create products that allow us to reduce production waste.”

They will delve into detail on how they work along with a selection of tools used and examples of materials such as pieces of glass and concrete.

Lime Street Concrete and Olive Can Fly will be based at Williamson Art Gallery & Museum on the 3rd of June 2023 between 10 am and 4 pm. They work out of a  new creative space in Hamilton Square near the train station.
