Peter Layton - Timeline
Artist, pioneer, mentor, Peter Layton is one of the founding fathers of British studio glass. Peter has played a major part in elevating glass from an industrial medium to a highly collectable art form. Most importantly, he gave it a home in the UK, both through his own studio, gallery and by supporting emerging and established glass artists.
