We were thrilled to be hosting an Online Artist Talk with Peter Layton and Tim Rawlinson. This special evening promised an illuminating discussion as Peter and Tim revealed the inspirations behind their latest works.
The pair explored the fusion of their distinct styles and offered a window into their creative process. Together, they examined the organic evolution of the theme, Glass Heaven, and highlighted the diverse techniques that brought their visions to life. They also touched on the challenges of preparing for an exhibition of this scale while juggling other projects, such as PAD.
Their joint exhibition marks a new chapter in the story of London Glassblowing and we look forward to sharing it with you.
