London Glassblowing

Very pleasant gallery. We came to the gallery last year, and decided to return for our anniversary. The staff were very attentive without being pushy. They were happy to present pieces on stands so we could get a good view. We did buy a lovely piece. Very pleased with our purchase which is our present to ourselves. Highly recommended.

If you'd like to see and experience an art form that requires genuine application and talent; then this is the place to come. A group of wonderful artists, and a studio showing off their amazing creations under the stewardship of the rather charming Peter Leyton and who is something of a Godfather when it comes to blown studio glass. This all not to mention that you can buy yourself a one-off work of art starting at just a couple of hundred pounds. Personally, I absolutely love the place!

Such a cool experience and very friendly staff show as willing to answer all my questions. Beautiful gallery and studio. Definitely worth checking out. I would NOT bring young kids here, though. Very breakable 😉

A wonderful place to visit where you can watch master glass makers make fabulous pieces and view a large display of stunning art glass for sale. The ladies at the reception were super nice and informative also.

I could not have been more welcome by the knowledgeable Gallery staff who took time in understanding what I was particularly looking for in terms of an appropriate piece of glass (for a present). I am delighted with what I eventually purchased. I was impressed by the Gallery and the works/pieces that were displayed. Similarly it was interesting to see glass being blown by present artists and hear the explanation of their work. Altogether it was an enjoyable visit, and I look forward to making another exploratory visit.

My wife and I have made multiple purchases from London Glassblowing, both on-line and in person. Each experience has been very positive. The staff is very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. They really make you feel you are part of their intimate family. The artists they represent are truly talented and the works magnificent. If you want to experience a personal approach to art and to feel valued, run to London Glassblowing! You will not be disappointed!

What a unique and inspiring space, full of glass art, it’s a workshop and gallery at the same time. I never been in such a wonderful place before, and it’s so exciting to see the glass blowing on site, everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it.

Incredible art piece, frustrating service The impression of the service is consisted of two main aspects: 1. Management - The team member had verbally agreed on a small discount, which was partially the reason I decided to purchase - I put down the deposit, the team emailed me the invoice but I didn’t double check, which is my mistake - After three weeks when I came to collect the object, I reckoned the discount hasn’t been applied, as the amount is different from what I remember - The team firstly said, they don’t remember we’ve agreed on a discount - The team changed the statement to - the price on the invoice is the discounted price after I retrieved the details with them - I asked to see the original price, as any running business probably has it documented - The team couldn’t provide another prices other than the price on my invoice, then told me they’ll ask the artist to clarify, as he was onsite that day and approved the discount - I paid the full amount, waited for a week as it could be a misunderstanding, but no follow up from the team 1. Packaging - I specifically told the team this is a meaningful gift for my mother - No printed introduction card/brochure The team told me they’ve ran out of it, sent me the digital file for me to print it myself, despite there are 5 other pieces remaining unsold, I suppose other customers would not want one - Extremely basic package Glass is considered fragile, yet you are given a tote bag to carry it around and gift it I buy pieces from time to time, regardless of the price and scale of the business, I can always feel the passion from the owner or the staff; as they always overly-worried about every details in a positive way. On the contrary, the team here seems nonchalant to care about the customer experience and the brand.

The London Glassblowing Workshop offers one-day introductory glassblowing lessons once or twice a month. It's a great day, you learn and make a lot (I made 2 paperweights, a dish and a vase). They really help you to make pieces in the styles and colours that you want, and there's only 2 students per instructor. Next door is the Peter Layton glass gallery, for inspiration.

This place is exceedingly interesting. You can pop in and watch pull a lump of molten glass on a stick out of a furnace and then watch them blow and roll it into all manner of glass ornaments and vases. If you are exceedingly well heeled, you can buy them too. Prices are just a little shy of the 'if you have to ask...' range.
