We are a small company based in Somerset. We moved to our current premises in Riverside Place, near the Brewhouse Theatre, Taunton in 1991. Since then we have built up a fantastic support base of wonderful customers both in the West Country, British Isles and overseas. They, like us, have a strong belief in locally made and well designed products. When all high streets look much the same we hope we offer an independent and refreshingly original approach.

We really are a family run business. I joined Will in 2004 when our youngest child started school. Chances are that I will be packing your order - if you've placed one! Even the dog comes in to work everyday.

Sniffy is Will's assistant and was trained at Dartington Glass in Devon. They have been working together now for many years. He and Will make up the glass blowing team so if you happen to venture into our gallery chances are you may see them hard at work.

With the above in mind we are launching our new website. For us it has been an exciting opportunity to pass on a flavour of our Taunton gallery and workshop philosophy. We have enjoyed selecting the different pieces of glass, photographing and writing all the blurby bits - admittedly some of us get a little carried away with this bit!  And we guarantee that, with the exception of the baubles, the piece you buy is the piece illustrated. We hope you enjoy looking through everything and if so please let your friends know about us too!
