Kate's been away on a 'busmans' working under the tutorage of the wonderful Rachel Phillips

"It was a great experience, I was completely out of my comfort zone and learned a great deal from the master of mark making, engraving and painting on glass.

I'm looking forward to see how these new skills and ideas come though onto the surfaces of our glass."

Thank you Rachel.

Our studio doors are now closed to visitors.

We look forward to seeing you from March 2022 and for now we will be enjoying some proper winter weather, family time, long walks enjoying the wonders of Rosedale and a creative period in the hot shop after Christmas.

Online orders received after 20th December will be posted out from Jan 3rd.

Many thanks for your support of our craft in 2021

Our fourth seasonal design celebrates the abundant berries of the Hawthorn.

The deep red colour, hums in the hedgerows as the Hawthorn, laden with ripe Haw’s, are now bare of leaves.

Birds love Hawthorn; its dense cover offers protection and food for blackbirds, thrushes and fieldfares among others.

The flowers and leaves have many uses as do the berries for hedgerow jellies, wines and herbal medicine, which includes treating heart problems and are imbued throughout with Faery magic.

The colour of the glass used in making this bowl is rare and we have waited many years, testing various melts, to find a melt that gives a consistently warmer, deeper red, reminiscent of a tree laden with Haw.

This bowl is a deep transparent red with a transparent red lip wrap.

Made to order, hand blown, hand engraved glass, signed, dated and numbered.

All orders will be with you in good time for this Christmas.

Our third limited edition of 2021. Launching this week.

The individual flowers are delicate and short lived, but massed in the verges they make a sea of continuous blue.

Part of the Geranium family, folklore states the flower has many uses including an effective counter to love spells, and is noted for her ability to attract happiness and prosperity.

As children we knew it as the Thunder Flower, picked it was sure to thunder and pour with rain.

A high summer bloom, as we head into autumn their seeds are now set and we hope this new design brings a beautiful blue note to your home for many years to come.

An opaque blue bowl with a transparent blue lip wrap.

Made to order, hand blown, hand engraved glass, signed, dated and numbered.
