Smelt is a glass blowing studio that promotes the exploration and innovative use of glass in South Africa. Under the leadership of designer Martli Jansen van Rensburg, the Smelt range includes high-end, limited-edition pieces, while the Smelt everyday range is distributed to retailers. The recently launched Smelt indigenous range has a distinctly South African feel to it. Smelt also leads a number of collaborations, as well as training and development initiatives.
