British Glass Biennale 2024

We are delighted to have had one of our Landscape Bowls selected to show at the 10th British Glass Biennale.

The piece is a Swedish Overlay in gold and Heliotrope, wheel cut, sandblasted and engraved with a collection of marks gathered from observations of the Rosedale landscape. For millenia, people have shaped this dale, working the landscape to survive and thrive, leaving behind marks of their toil.

One hundred and twenty-one artists were selected out of 326 applicants to present the most interesting, diverse and outstanding glass art made in the UK in the last two years.

The exhibition is open Tuesday to Saturday from 26 August to 28 September at the Glasshouse, Stourbridge; the heart of the historic glass industry in the UK.

The show is an eclectic mix of techniques and works and well worth a visit, with more works on view than ever before.

The next event, in 2026, moves lock stock and barrel to the World of Glass St Helens. We look forward to the next incarnation of the event now in the hands of the American Glass Art Society.

The Americans have a vast experience in staging events for glass, we visited the annual GAS conference in Berlin this year and loved every minute of it, so we look forward to seeing how the Biennale and the IFG develops in 2026.
