We just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who visited us during the International Festival of Glass! We intended to add a few words to the blog over the weekend, but we were so busy we never found the time in the end. It was lovely to meet so many new and returning customers, and we're delighted that our special edition Festival soaps, bath bombs, home fragrancing and Glassmakers Balm (a lavender balm infused with sea buckthorn that would be perfect for supporting the skin with minor burns) proved to be so popular. We still have a few of these left, so catch them while you can!
Wasn't the Glass Festival fantastic? Over the weekend thousands visited the Ruskin Glass Centre and the new Glasshouse Arts Centre and Webb Corbett Visitor Centre. Despite the weather, people flocked to see the many exhibitions, took part in workshops, watched live glass blowing/craftspeople at work, saw the completed Portland Vase (really gorgeous!) and sampled the excellent food and drink before popping in for some retail therapy. The atmosphere was wonderful all weekend, and on the final evening it was amazing to see so many people packed into the Glass Centre for the glass auction!
We think the Festival has been a huge success, and the renovated building looks fantastic and is the perfect venue for the British Glass Biennale exhibition (as usual the craftsmanship is stunning). So if you get the chance to visit the exhibition (it's open until 15th September 2012) and new visitor facilities, we'd highly recommend a visit! For now, we're taking a well earned rest today (Tuesday 28th) and will be open again tomorrow, so see you soon!
