17th April 2013. New Gallery opens in St Ives Cornwall!

Earlier this year we decided we were ready for a change, and closed the doors of our gallery in Masham, North Yorkshire. We relocated home, studio and gallery over the course of 4 weeks all the way down to St Ives in Cornwall. We re-opened our new gallery overlooking the St Ives harbour in April. The new gallery is full of beautiful glass made in our own studio, and also shows the glass work of other talented artists based in the UK. We're open every day, so come and visit!
