From raw material to molten glass, we are involved in every stage of the glass-making process. From sourcing the materials, such as mussel shells, local sands, and wood ashes, to working with glass blowers to create beautiful artefacts.
Inspired by ancient glass-making methodologies and working alongside glass archaeologists, we select our raw materials very carefully to ensure a compatible, workable glass to act as the perfect vessel for our precious water resource and a natural conversation starter about environmental issues around people’s dining tables.
