    Our Glass

    The only glass-blowing studio in the UK using optical quality and recycled glass.

    Optical quality glass is incredibly pure with a much higher refractive index than normal glass. It is usually used in binocular, camera and microscope lenses but we use it for its clarity, density and how it enhances our colour work. It is also harder to work with (literally) than normal glass and requires different styles of blowing, shaping and heating in the making of glass objects.  

    OUR GLASS IS 98% RECYCLED optical glass with the highest "green" credentials across our collections. Our clear glass is 100% recycled glass.



    Our Colour

    Every day we assimilate millions of colour stimuli, a dream like world of colours.

    You aren't even thinking about it while it happens: our eyes perceive over 205 different shades of colour. We differentiate completely between the most detailed nuances and recognise over 20 saturation and 500 brightness levels.

    The nuances of our palette are from meticulous observation and being committed to the same colour house in eastern Germany. We routinely travel to meet the Schmelz Meister (colour master), and have been doing so for over twenty years. A single colour may take up to 30 days to make –  delicately blending precious minerals such as silver, gold and arsenic.
