Clare Gaylard Glass 

Pre-Christmas Aldeburgh, windless silver and deserted, in its own micro-climate.

Happy Winter Solstice! Hoping folks have a better chance of seeing the Great Conjunction than us - yesterday’s perfect skies have given way to clouds and rain. A little pair of glass and silver planets as a substitute.

Before ordering from my shop, some post from this week has been delayed.

A flurry of boxing up and posting, Monday is the last day Royal Mail give for first class post in time for Christmas. HOWEVER there have been delays, if you are looking for guaranteed arrival please contact me for special delivery rates. You can of course also find a selection of my glass, year-round in @walsinghamgalleryandframing along with many other good...

Only two kings here, a pair of tiny memento mori / vanitas earrings off to mark a special event.

Not an orrery! I have a friend with a nativity collecting ‘habit’, I saw Sebastian Berge’s #minimalist #colour version at the RA shop around this time last year. I didn’t stretch to a stable, that was a last minute thing anyway as I recall... it remains to be seen if she can work out what it is, as it will arrive without instructions...

More glass celestial bodies: I have made some Blue Planet hair sticks.

Blue Planet pendant, a small glass and silver world at your fingertips, made in the flame.

Would you rather have a galaxy or a planet in your hands? The sort of decision usually presented only to an evil genius or a superhero...

You can now also find a selection of my glass at the Winter Exhibition at Aldeburgh Gallery, alongside the work of other selected artists and makers. Just across the road from @lescargotsurmer and right next door to @aldefishnchips ...

In Harleston today, visiting Old Harnessmakers to see their gem-like, winter show. Lisa Henshall has a magpie-eye for unusual and beautiful artist and artisan-made objects. One of the glass objects I have there - and the distinctive entrance which will catch your eye on the London road.

Like walking alongside (or under) falling chandeliers as it thaws. Some of the glass I have with Old Harnessmakers in Harleston where Lisa Henshall Art has curated a beautiful range of work from from local and national artists and makers.

One of three delicate yet substantial, glass Rockpool rings currently with Old Harnessmakers Gallery. With seaweed detail trailed around the back.

Behind my studio: I don’t know why there are fields of withering sunflowers but there are flocks of small birds all over them (except when I try and take a photo) very happily eating the seeds.

Thanks to everyone who came by our studios today. Working alongside skilled Makers like @botanicalbeing and having the opportunity to demonstrate and discuss as well as show and sell is much appreciated, particularly this year.

Our studios open tomorrow! You will find Botanical Being and myself in our Earl Soham studios at our work. Winter inspiration and beautiful unique and artisan/artist made creations in textiles, print and glass. My studio will only take two people at a time so if you would like to make an appointment to avoid waiting, please get in touch. This is not necessary for Maria’s studio, which consists of a series of la...

Find this glass and much more in Harleston.

You will find a case of my glass at Walsingham Gallery & Framing (re-opening today) in North Norfolk along with work from a wide range of artists and makers. Plus the vibrant and inspiring studio of @sarahcaswellpaintings AND let’s not forget an award-winning pie cafe.
