Clare Gaylard Glass 

Some of the artist/makers exhibiting at  'A Winter's Exhibition' Saturday 24th-

It's early days but we are making plans - The Quay Gallery at Snape Maltings, May 3rd-9th 2018; 'Glass, Print and Ceramics'.

At Aldeburgh Gallery until January 8th 2018, a lovely exhibition - I just added two cases of recent work. Yesterday the roads and fields were blankete...

My doors will be open from 11am - 5pm for visitors and demonstrations - I think that having the glass is only half the experience, the making needs to be seen. Directions here.

Finding my studio once in Yew Tree Court has been a thing- as you leave the main road, look left and you will see these barns on your far left. Follow the drive left and you will end up between my studio and the main road. Good Luck!

You can find full details of our trail on the SOS website,  Lorette, Jayne, Robin and I are open all four weekends 11am-5pm.

I shall miss the route to work....

The weather is on our side again - I'm at Aldeburgh Gallery until the end of Wednesday 18th May - fabulous fish&chip shops on either side and the seafront through an arch on the other side of the road.

My third time exhibiting at The Quay has just finished and it was a pleasure. Snape Maltings has its very own atmosphere of sublte, expansive, beauty. This is the first time I have seen The Cygnet under sail, looking appropriately sculptural in the company of works by Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore.

We are looking forward to opening at The Quay Gallery next Friday. Snape Maltings is a cultural centre in a designated 'Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty' so there is plenty to do and see aside from our printmaking and flamework glass. 

My studio will be open on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th December, 11am- 4pm for demonstrations, exploring and sales. Visitors most welcome. Flameworks, Unit 2, Yew Tree Courtyard, 21 Framlingham Rd, Earl Soham, Suffolk, IP13 7SG

Was drawn up by Lorrette E Roberts - an illustrator widely published here and in Asia, so my barn has had the five star treatment...

'Eastern Promise', our art exhibition is showing at The Quay Gallery, Snape Maltings until 5.30pm Thursday 12th May. We have had four days of magnificent sunshine and welcomed many visitors already. A new Henry Moore statue looks out over the reed beds and the widening river along all the usual reasons to visit this uniquel...

Some of Mr Turner's sketchbooks.. from the Turner Bequest. We went to see the 'Late Turner' at the Tate late last year. What I didn't know (not having seen the Mike Leigh film yet) was how prolific he was, that a sketchbook and any mark-making implement were like extensions of his hands. Appare...

To a new studio/workshop! Many reasons but amongst them the following conversation: 'Do you teach lampwork glass classes?', 'Not at the moment but leave me your contact details.' 'I did that THREE YEARS AGO!'. Plus numerous requests for sales hours, the option of renting torch time and etc.

Last time I taught flamework was in Singapore....

Only one more weekend of Open Studios to go but I think the award for 'Most Disgruntled Trailing Spouse' is probably in the bag. While his wife having watched me flameworking, examined my glass a weary and bewlidered gentleman gestured round my studio and said: 'We s...

My unusually tidy workbench. The jug of water is to quench tools or receive glass that has gone badly arwy. The stainless steel pot holds vermiculite, it permits small pieces of glass to cool slowly. I usually put my glass straight into the kiln, left to room temperature the core w...

Thanks to everyone who came by, silversmiths, engineers, jewellers, students, parents, holiday makers, supportive spouses and innocent bystanders. Thanks for putting on the safety glasses, leaning in and asking questions. It was a pleasure to meet you. Three more weekends to go.
