What's Happening this Summer at London Glassblowing

This summer, we are thrilled to announce an exciting lineup of events and exhibitions you won't want to miss. 

Established in 1976, London Glassblowing showcases the stunning creations of Peter Layton, his resident artists, and specially invited guest artists. Located on vibrant Bermondsey Street, the gallery is surrounded by a lively mix of restaurants, bars, shops, and galleries, making it the perfect destination for a summer day out.

Odds & Ends

19 - 28 July

Renowned glass artist Peter Layton is parting with a collection of his most cherished oddities—private experiments, fleeting ideas, and unfinished works lovingly preserved over his 50-year career.

Glass Heaven 

2 August - 1 September

In August, we are excited to host Peter Layton's celebrated solo show, which for the first time will feature work by his talented son-in-law, Tim Rawlinson. Together, their glass works weave a compelling narrative, bridging tradition and innovation.
