SUNDERLAND, UK — The National Glass Centre, a cornerstone of British studio glass and contemporary craft for nearly thirty years, has announced its final exhibition ahead of its permanent closure this month.
Conclusion, presented by the final cohort of MA Glass and Ceramics students from the University of Sunderland, will be the historic last exhibition to take place in the renowned venue. The showcase represents a major passing of the torch, celebrating the future of contemporary making even as the physical chapter of this vital national institution draws to a close.
Staged alongside The Graduates in the main gallery, Conclusion brings together a diverse, highly ambitious body of work from emerging international artists. Through the challenging mediums of glass and ceramics, the exhibition tackles complex themes of identity, memory, displacement, and cutting-edge material innovation.
The exhibition represents the final public event before the building officially and permanently closes at 3:00 PM on Friday 31 July 2026.
Since opening in 1998, the National Glass Centre has played a defining role in securing Britain’s place on the global studio glass stage. By providing world-class facilities and fostering academic excellence through the University of Sunderland, it has been a vital incubator for contemporary craft. Conclusion offers a final, vital look at the calibre of artists the institution has championed.
A spokesperson for the MA cohort commented:
“Exhibiting during the National Glass Centre’s final week is a profoundly bittersweet privilege. Our work represents the culmination of intense research and physical mastery, developed within a space that has inspired some of the world’s greatest glass artists. While we mourn the loss of this remarkable building, our exhibition is a testament to the enduring strength and future of the medium.”

Venue: National Glass Centre, Liberty Way, Sunderland, SR6 0GL

A solo exhibition of kiln-formed glass landscapes exploring what it means to find home through place.
Although best known for wearable art and landscape pendants, this exhibition marks a move towards larger kiln-formed glass artworks, creating space for wider horizons, changing weather and a deeper sense of atmosphere.
Living in Devon has felt like finding home. Inspired by Dartmoor and the Devon coastline, these landscapes capture fleeting moments of light, weather and place. Each piece is built from four layers of glass, carefully composed and kiln fused. As the layers merge, colours soften and blend, creating depth, movement and a moment held in glass.
That sense of belonging is especially significant. Raised in a military family, I moved frequently throughout childhood, making it difficult to put down roots. Even when we stayed somewhere for several years, there was always the feeling that another move might come. As an adult, relocating for work continued that pattern. Devon has been the first place where movement has gradually given way to belonging.
“We came for the sea, but fell for the moor.”
This is my debut solo exhibition, over a year in the making, accompanied by a fortnightly blog documenting the journey.
10% of all sales will be donated to Dartmoor Search & Rescue Team Ashburton in support of their vital work across Dartmoor.
Date: 28 – 31 August 2026
Time: 11 – 5pm
Place: No 10 Gallery, 10 High Street, Chagford, TQ13 8AJ

About 200 kilos of coloured glass rods. They are all inter compatible. Best offer to be paid to CGS. Buyer pays for postage. I have tried and failed to attach photos of the rods and of melt examples. I will email copies to any one interested.
This taster session introduces the basic techniques of hand-engraving glass using a rotary tool such as a Dremel, engraving pen, or hanging drill. You’ll start with a safety briefing, then observe sample pieces to understand different textures and styles. With guidance, you’ll sketch or transfer a simple design onto glass.
I have a couple of things for sale!
FOR SALE: Mint condition Skutt Firebox 8, been fired a couple of times at most.
Here’s the details:
The Firebox 8 is a side firing kiln, with the elements in all four walls for an even firing. The lid itself is a lightweight brick construction coated with refractory cement. It has a cool-touch handle. The chamber is also made from lightweight brick, which is used because it is able to expand and contract as the kiln heats and cools. It also helps reduce the overall weight of the kiln. The whole kiln is set on sturdy metal feet.
Includes: kiln shelf, 3 shelf props
£800 collect from Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire
FOR SALE – Water Fed Drill and Diamond Core Drill Bits
I am only selling as I have upgraded my set up. The Drill is well used but works well.
I am including 10 used but plenty of life, diamond core Drill bits that new are worth several hundred alone. Ranging from 10mm to 50mm. I’ll pop in a dressing stone too.
It could do with a new pump for the water feed soon, but these are easy to change over.
£700 collect from Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.
