Press
We are always thrilled when the Press get in touch to feature this fabulous industry of ours.
As a result publications from the FT’s How to Spend It and the Telegraph Magazine, to Crafts Magazine and The Times have featured Peter or London Glassblowing. Indeed, even Channel 4 News has dropped by the studio to showcase a story on energy prices! Naturally Peter is the focus for most of these interviews, but increasingly other members of the team are enjoying the limelight – this year Louis Thompson was profiled by Telegraph Luxury Magazine during the lead up to Collect 2018.
Whether you’re looking to interview Peter, access high-res images or call-in items for a photoshoot please contact Cora Kemp at Informare PR cora@informare.co.uk.
