The Media Society Award
London Glassblowing works on an ongoing basis with a number of clients. Among these Peter Layton has particularly enjoyed his relationship with the Media Society in providing their prestigious annual award.
Over the years Peter’s pieces have been presented to a number of esteemed media figures including Melvin Bragg, Jeremy Paxman, Sir Harold Evans and Clare Balding.
Clare thanked Peter for creating the award, referring to it as a unique work of art.
“Thank you to The Media Society for the night of my life last night. Wonderful speakers & the award is a work of art...” - Clare Balding
