GLASS BACK CONTACT COMMISSIONS STOCKISTS NEWS TEACHING FAQs & T&Cs CHECKOUT | Welcome to the Shakspeare Glass website.
All my glass is handmade in my studio in the centre of Taunton, Somerset. Hand blown, mouth blown, studio, art, designer - its all the same. It comes down to me and a blob of hot molten glass that I have to transform into hopefully a thing of beauty - vase, bowl, perfume bottle or my personal favourtite - anything to drink out of. I tend to leave my glass to speak for itself, I think taste is personal, if you like something - fantastic - if you dont, OK. Anyway have a wander round the site, hopefully something will catch your eye. If you are looking for a present for somebody but can't decide, there is always a Shakspeare Glass gift token for any value - just give us a call. | |
