We are delighted to exhibit work by Shakspeare Glass this Christmas, from large wall mounted sculpture, to beautiful festive baubles.
Will Shakspeare set up Shakspeare Glass 25 years ago in a small workshop next to his home in Burnham On Sea, blowing contemporary, handmade art glass for galleries in the UK and abroad. Today, Will has become one of the leading British glassmakers, known for his wide range of work and his individual contemporary style. His work has been featured in press and television including many programmes such as Kirstie's Homemade Home and Kirstie's Homemade Christmas with Kirstie Allsopp. Will has also worked in Central and South America as a consultant in glass production and design. According to Will:
My new collection of work is inspired by a new hobby, scuba diving, and my ongoing snorkeling trips. In particular I have tried to capture the feel of the sea with the shoals of glittering and flittering fish, the shadows from the sunlight through the reeds and seaweeds and the reflections on the pebbles and rocks on the seafloor in the shallows of the coastal regions.
