To mark the momentous occasion of London Glassblowing’s 45th anniversary, Peter invited friends and colleagues, many of whom are considered to be the leading British Artists currently working in glass, to join us for a special celebratory exhibition. This promises to be a truly exceptional show, with many of the participants making new artworks especially for this exhibition. As the highlight of the 2021 Glass calendar, this was one show not be missed.

Included in this exhibition we showed work by the late Sam Herman, who pioneered the Studio Glass Movement in the United Kingdom.
