Since its inception in 2004 the Festival’s aim has been to celebrate and showcase the skill and innovation of the glass industry and makers, both historic and contemporary, local and international. We are currently planning the eighth International Festival of Glass - please do check in for updates, sign up for our newsletter or follow us on Facebook or Twitter.
The 2022 festival will explore contemporary glassmaking in Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan.
The masterclass programme has a fantastic line up of superb artists, some passing on their skills for the first time.
Our first major international exhibition, Expanding Horizons, will feature over 80 works by artists from Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan.
