There are fewer glassmakers in our region than there were in the 1990s, but we always enjoy seeing glassmakers in action when we can.
The opportunity to see a lot of good quality glass in one place, where one can actually handle it, is rare. It was one of the reasons we went a bit mad at the NGC when it first opened.
And it would also be good to have a really major northern British exhibition or conference about glass that was open to the general public. I understand from a recent email conversation that Tyne & Wear museums would do more if they could, but they're so short of staff and money in these austere times that several aspects of their work have been mothballed.
