Whether opaque or transparent the mysterious light-reflecting qualities of glass are irresistible in both practical or decorative use.

Peter St. Clair has been designing and making his unique, handmade, free-blown, decorated, iridescent glass since 1976. 

The colours and decorations are created from a combination of carefully selected mineral oxides and precious metals, which are trapped within several layers of clear lead crystal glass in the hot making process.

His work has been described as 'antiques of the future' . 

These are 21st century designs using Egyptian techniques combined with influences from 18th century Bristol and Nailsea glass as well as designs by the world famous glass-artists Tiffany and Gallé.

His ambitions are to continue a regeneration of glassmaking in the southwest, and has recently launched two new collections, Nailsea Glass and 'Fabrille-style' Glass.
