Mark your calendars for Thursday at 6pm! Our website shop will be live with our new limited edition design as we continue to celebrate our 30th anniversary. 

This bowl captures the fleeting beauty of summer's Cow Parsley.

We hope you like the bowl as much as we do, this design is the most delicate and detailed we’ve yet made. She's been a challenge.

Many thanks to everyone who came to see Kates studio as part of North Yorkshire Open Studios.

It was a great couple of weekend meeting new folks and seeing lots of familiar faces.

It was a great opportunity to show Kates printmaking alongside the work and processes.

Thanks to everyone who came along.... it's been a long time since we blew glass on a weekend and invited questions about the process.

It was great to share the making with so many people. Thanks for coming.

Visit Kate’s Private Studio 

For two weekends only — June 7–8 and 14–15 — Kate will open her private studio as part of the North Yorkshire Open Studios event. This is a rare chance to step inside the space where she works glass engraving, drawing and printing. 

While our main studios are open year-round, Kate’s studio is usually private — don’t miss this special opportunity to visit.

Find more details about the event and participating artists online.

We hope our new bowl captures some of the essence of spring and this amazing, beautiful flower.

Hazel Catkins

Our new Bowl will be launched this Thursday at 6pm.

If you are on the mailing list, look out for the special invitation.........

This spring, the Hazel Catkins have been spectacular, with thousands of blooms swaying in the breeze along the roadsides and hedgerows of the North York Moors. Catkins are the male flowers of the hazel tree, and each tail is made up of hundreds of tiny individual flowers, bursting with yellow pollen.

Since insects are scarce at this time of year, the hazel tree relies on the wind to pollinate its flowers, carrying pollen on the breeze to help produce those wonderful hazelnuts in autumn.

The name Catkin comes from the Dutch word katteken, meaning "kitten," as the flowers resemble fluffy kitten tails. They’re also known as lamb’s tails, a name more closely linked to the arrival of spring.

Pyramid Gallery, a specialist gallery on York’s Stonegate, also celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, marking three decades of supporting and showcasing the finest British craftspeople. 

As part of its celebrations, the gallery is hosting a special exhibition of art glass.

This exhibition, from 22 March to 11 May, will include unique landscape pieces by Stephen and Kate.

It's a great exhibition of Art Glass by many makers.

For the first time in a few years we are joining the NYOS weekends.

7th-8th & 14th-15th June 2025 

10am - 5pm

"An annual event enabling artists and makers to open their studios. With studios located across the county, from the remote hills of the Upper Dales to the suburban streets of Harrogate, across the Vale of York to the rural North York Moors and Coast, visitors have the opportunity to visit unique and varied artist venues, surrounded by stunning North Yorkshire landscapes."

It's a great opportunity to find makers and artists in the Moors and beyond.
