Pleased to be showing 3 new bowls within this group exhibition. Saturday 18 January - Sunday 1 March 2020 - Fen Ditton Gallery "This exhibition is the second in a series of exhibitions exploring colour that Amanda Game is curating for Fen Ditton Gallery. Each show brings together works by artists, from different disciplines, to explore how colour as both subject and medium remains a fundamental part of many artistic processes." More details here.

The furnace is off as we change the crucible, ready for the year ahead making glass. The pot corrodes over time and develops holes or cracks, which can, eventually go through and create all kinds of havoc for a glassmaker. This pot has been in the furnace since summer 2017 and is ready to come out. Hope to have the furnace relit next week and have the beating heart of the building return to warm this stone building through.

A very happy new year to you.

We are looking forward to this new year for many reasons. We have plans made, many of which will involve celebrating our 25th year making glass together in Rosedale.

Please join our studio mailing list to be the first to learn of special events and exhibitions.

In January and February each year, we work behind closed doors and resume our usual opening hours on March 1st.

We still accept PayPal orders during this time and if you would like to visit the studio, please call ahead to arrange an appointment.

Thank you.

Warm regards from Rosedale,

Stephen & Kate

A simple vase in black glass, that allows for any colour of flower to shine, be it a single garden bloom, or an elaborate table centre for a special occasion.

The vase has a small hole of approx 1.5cm diameter in the top so as it can hold a simple single bloom or an arrangement.

Available in a large or small size.

Last orders for Christmas 19th December.

Our winter design celebrates the luscious red fruits of the Rowan Tree.

Bane of witches, diviner of the future and source of jam, rowan is an elegant tree with a mystical history. Its leaves and delightfully red berries are a favourite for rural and urban wildlife alike.

Hand blown, hand engraved glass, in a warm opaque red with a transparent red lip wrap, signed dated and numbered., we will be launching our new design next week. Please join our mailing list and be amongst the first to know.

Our friends over in Manchester have created a pop up department store celebrating story led brands. We are pleased to say some of our studio production bowls have been curated into this event. If you are over in Manchester, we reckon this will be worth a visit, and each Thursday night there are a series of events to enjoy. full details here

Many thanks to everyone who has recently ordered a cornflower bowl. Our third limited edition design of 2019 is now sold out in the small size with only a few remaining in the large size. Please join our mailing list to be the first to see new designs. We are now working our way through making each of the bowls.

Glass artist Shelley James explored the birth of clear glass nearly 800 years ago in Murano in the BBC Revolutions series. It's a fascinating look at this wonderful material, samphire.... who knew?
