Collect at Somerset House
London Glassblowing returns to Collect
28 February - 2 March
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. We are proud to be contributing by highlighting glass as a flourishing medium for artistic self expression.
In an exciting development, we expanded our presence to encompass an entire room, allowing us to create an environment that truly celebrated these remarkable works.
