Beyond Collect: An Extended Celebration

6 - 29 March

Following our presence at Collect, London's prestigious international Art Fair at Somerset House, Gather presents an expanded celebration of contemporary glass art as we mark the start of our golden anniversary.

Anna Alsina Bardagí

This special exhibition brings together 19 exceptional artists, showcasing the remarkable diversity and innovation that has defined London Glassblowing since Peter Layton founded the studio in 1976. From masters whose work resides in museum collections worldwide to exciting emerging voices, Gather demonstrates the extraordinary range of creative expression possible in glass.

Discover work by Spanish glass artist Anna Alsina Bardagí, whose sculptural forms push the boundaries of kiln-formed glass, and Crispian Heath, alongside the full roster of talent from our Collect presentation.

Live glassblowing demonstrations and intimate artist talks will offer unique insights into individual practices, technical mastery, and the creative possibilities that continue to shape the future of glass art.

Join us in celebrating half a century of championing British studio glass - honouring our legacy whilst firmly establishing our continued leadership in contemporary glass art.
