19 - 25 October

This year's Winter Silent Auction returns with another carefully curated collection - a chance to acquire original works by Peter Layton, Tim Rawlinson and our resident artists, including pieces from Peter's celebrated 'Highlight' archive.

13 November - 6 December

To mark fifty years of London Glassblowing, our founder Peter Layton has chosen work by fifteen artists from the Glass Art Society's Members' Showcase at the International Festival of Glass in St Helens. Peter Selects is one maker's personal response to the work of his peers, bringing glass from Japan, Brazil, Norway and beyond to Bermondsey Street.

To mark half a century of creative glassmaking, Peter Layton invited you into his world of transformation and alchemy. Exploring evolving series, dormant ideas reborn, and exciting new collaborations, this landmark exhibition celebrated 50 years of artistry, passion, and uniquely crafted glass.

For 50 years, London Glassblowing has championed studio glassmaking. This anniversary exhibition brought together nearly 50 artists - residents artists, cherished guests, and pioneers from founder Peter Layton's earlier studios - to celebrate a remarkable journey from 1976 to today's thriving gallery.

Following our presence at Collect, Gather marked our golden anniversary with 19 exceptional artists showcasing the diversity defining London Glassblowing since 1976. From masters in museum collections to emerging voices like Spanish artist Anna Alsina Bardagí and Crispian Heath, the exhibition features live demonstrations and artist talks.

We were thrilled to return to Collect 2026, marking a momentous milestone: our 50th anniversary. Our presentation celebrated the remarkable diversity that has always been our hallmark: a kaleidoscope of artistic voices, techniques, and aesthetic approaches. We presented work from 17 exceptional artists whose practices embody this rich variety.

This summer we showcased Peter Layton & Tim Rawlinson's experimental studies and works from series Peter has redeveloped or retired. The archive of Peter's visual library forms the bedrock of his creative process.

London Glassblowing and the Contemporary Glass Society presented "Mirage," an exhibition exploring the extraordinary optical illusions possible in contemporary glass art. This juried show featured 70 selected CGS members from across the UK.

We were pleased to announce our continuing participation in Collect, the Crafts Council’s International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects. It is one of the world’s most influential and prestigious showcases for contemporary craft and design.
