He is terribly helpful and will reply to your email - most definitely worth contacting.

Thanks Lynne, i'm not very good at approaching people for help

I do know what you mean - especially if they are VIPs in the glass (or other ) world...I am very nervous about taking up their time.

But some are truly helpful.  I get wonderful help from Okra (I emailed the general link on their website and got a personal reply back from Richard Golding)

Peter Layton's team are also extremely nice

and AA here can't be faulted for all the help he has given me over the last couple of years.

Sue: Golding's shop is basically a one-man operation.  It is just him, and his cameo artisan.  He makes the glass in his backyard. I was at his shop once and it is truly amazing what he makes from the old converted carriage barn!

I had a reply from Richard Golding, he said that although most of their pieces are signed they did make pieces that just had a sticker, what a charming man
