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.
Our Stories
Peter and Tim at the annual Glass Art Society Conference
Ahead of their trip to New York for the annual Glass Art Society Conference at the Corning Museum of Glass, Peter and Tim shared an insightful talk with guests at our gallery. In this special preview of the presentation they would go on to deliver at the world-renowned museum, Peter and Tim looked back on more than fifty years of creativity, craftsmanship, and community, sharing personal insights into the studio's evolution while also considering its future. From there, they headed to Corning, New York, for the conference itself!
Our Glass Community Reflect on Peter Layton
To mark fifty years of London Glassblowing, we asked artists, collaborators and friends to share what the studio has meant to them. Their answers span five decades - from first encounters at the hotshop to lifelong friendships. What emerges is a portrait of a community built around one man's vision, and the remarkable things that vision made possible.
