It's STUDIO SEASON ☀️ This weekend, dare to dip your toes across the border to Dreambeyan for the annual

Venture into Harriet Schwarzrock and Matt Curtis' Arnott's biscuit factory turned glass studio. There will be plasma illuminated works to see up close as well as a smorgasbord of glass available for sale (much like Arnott's family assortment).

More importantly, it's a chance to catch up with studio manager, Pearl 🐶 and her PA, Pickle🥒

THEN make your way over to the local R&R at Rob Schwartz and Rose-Mary Faulkner's home studio, where the smorgasbord continues (and just in time for Christmas).

This week at Glassworks: NEON PLAYGROUND🛝

In an exchange of expertise, the Hotshop is stuffed full of glassblowers and neon benders alike. Renowned artists Harriet Schwarzrock, David Cooper and Robert Schwartz lead this impressive cohort into victory.

Woking with hand-pulled soda-lime tubing there is plenty of fresh shapes, sizes and colorways pushing boundaries into new light. The result? Action filled days and brand-new illuminated glass.
