We are incredibly proud to announce that Peter Layton has been awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at Collect, and he is the very first person to receive it. This is a truly historic moment, and a fitting tribute as London Glassblowing celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Read Peter's acceptance words, reminiscing on his extraordinary career and contribution to the world of glass.

This International Women's Day, we're shining a light on four talented artists from our studio - just a few of the remarkable women making their mark in glass. Historically framed as a male-dominated field, women have always been present in the story of glass, especially at London Glassblowing, and today they are redefining its future.

Marking our 50th anniversary at Collect 2026, we presented 17 artists spanning established masters to emerging talents — including two exciting newcomers, James Maskrey and Helen Restorick, both pushing glass into extraordinary new territory.
