London Glassblowing presents Gather exhibition

Peter Layton’s London Glassblowing opens its 50th anniversary year celebrations with a new glass exhibition called Gather this March.

The show follows on from the studio’s presence at Collect art fair and will showcase the contemporary glass art of over 20 artists, including the works of Peter Layton and Tim Rawlinson, from 6-29 March 2026.

Gather celebrates the diversity and innovation that has defined London Glassblowing since Peter Layton founded the studio in 1976, as well as showcasing emerging talent.

From masters whose work resides in museum collections worldwide to exciting emerging voices, Gather demonstrates the extraordinary range of creative expression possible in glass.

For example, Tim Rawlinson’s complex pieces (see main image) use the refractive qualities of glass to create optical illusions, shadows and reflections.

The full roster of talent from the London Glassblowing Collect presentation will be represented as part of Gather.

Exhibiting artists:

Peter Layton, Tim Rawlinson, Anna Alsina Bardagí, Anthony Scala, Bruce Marks, Colin Reid, Crispian Heath, David Patchen, Elliot Walker, Heike Brachlow, Harriet Thorne, Helen Restorick, James Maskrey, Karen Browning, Katherine Huskie, Layne Rowe, Liam Reeves, Louis Thompson, Sacha Delabre, Sarah Wiberley, Sila Yucel, Tomas Brzon.

London Glassblowing is at 62-66 Bermondsey Street, London SE1 3UD. See the website for more details.
