Glassblowing in London with Samantha Sweet

About Me
I fell head over heels for hot glass during a taster session on my BA Hons course. The intense heat and the fiery dance of molten glass captured my heart and I was determined to persevere until the end of the day, even as the queue of hopefuls dwindled from 20 to just four.
After completing my undergraduate degree, I worked in several glass studios and attended classes at Pilchuck and Haystack in the US to hone my technical skills. In 2000, I decided to take my passion for glass to the next level by pursuing an MA at the prestigious Royal College of Art.

My studio is 5 mins walk from the East Finchley Underground Station which is on the Northern Line, Zone 3. If you are coming by car I can leave you a parking space on the drive as the street is a CPZ Monday - Saturday.
The studio is only open by appointment so please do get in touch.
