If you liked the works London Glassblowing were showing at Collect 2014 then I warmly recommend that you go to their gallery in Bermondsey Street to see the selling exhibition GATHER which features work by established and talented newer exponents of this ancient craft.

One of the great features of a visit there is the opportunity to see glassmaking in practice as visitors are welcome to watch. I must admit that I found it a fascinating experience.
