Bristol Blue Glass Christmas

Founded in 1988 by James Adlington, with the help of glass maker Peter St Clair, the pair re-established the glass making tradition back into Bristol - something that had been lost for over 60 years. A proud achievement, for Bristol Blue Glass have mastered the skills requited to blow glass by hand, in the time-honoured fashion. It is done using only the simplest of hand tools, and is free blown so every single piece is unique. The legacy has spread worldwide, which is why the Bristol Blue Glass style has become so iconic. They also are able to blow everything in clear Crystal as well, if you desire anything that is not on their website you can call and ask. 

 

The makers also do bespoke glass items, the skilled team of Glassblowers have worked on many projects in the past. If you have an idea for a glass piece you would like made, would like them to recreate a broken item, or simply want a different colour scheme in a piece from their range, it’s all possible.

 

The factory is open 6 days a week for the public to watch the glass being made at no cost. Pop along and enquire if you have an idea for a bespoke piece that you would like made, watch the classes and get involved!
