Welcome to the Future

ART IS THE EMPORER’S CLOTHES

This was an image of one view we had whilst parked in a car-park on Dartmoor and making a quick sketch to exhibit in our forthcoming exhibition. We have now moved on but may well return to that carpark as there were several, many other possible sketches available.

Heather also took a photo…How High Is The SkyWell, here we are with our new site. Let’s see how we get on with this one…
Hope you like the boat, we might change that with one of our own at some point down the line.

So, the main purpose of this site is to just have a point of contact out there on the Interweb, so please feel free to get in touch, contribute or just browse.

the photo of the view sketched above

Enjoy!

Old Festive Bits from last Christmas

MERRY LITTLE TREE

 
 
 

Here is a 14inch aprox. Christmas Tree …one that we have just grown on our workbench

 

Smaller trees of about 5inches we grow by the hundred as there is such a high demand for them

 
 
 

This is one of our bread and butter items which are essential to maintain our business.

 

Even though we produce many of them they are each individually made

 and consequently all slightly different.

 
 
 

How many Christmas trees can you count here-in?

 

Some samples of our glassworkings

Happy hunting...

(We counted 15-16 and gave up, after we realised that there are probably some boats mixed in with the trees on the right-hand table. We do keep many more in stock, but you can never have too many)
