Christmas Events
As we neared the end of 2025, we had an exciting selection of events to welcome in the festive season and celebrate the beginning of our Golden Year - 50 years of London Glassblowing. From wine tastings to jewellery spotlights, glass illuminated by candlelight and the chance to blow your own bauble in the hotshop, our gallery was the perfect place to spend a cold winter day.
