Title: Sanders & Wallace Glass Closure
Post by: Greg. on October 02, 2023, 10:19:25 AM

Sad to also hear that Sanders & Wallace based in North Yorkshire have also recently announced their closure and have just turned off the furnace for the last time, due to the cost of gas.

A studio that produced some lovely pieces over the years.

I have admired their work, (and own a few bits) for a long time now.
Recently, Flying-Free posted a lovely link to their archives, showing off some glorious stuff I was unaware of. It got a few of us dribbling.
It seems appropriate to add it. Just to rub in what we've lost.
I do hope the workers can find good employment.

It's tragic when artists are forced to stop working their magic because of ridiculous circumstances beyond their control.

I can't find that news anywhere on the web. They are both OAPs now though

I have several pieces that I'll add to this thread as a thank you for their work.

 ;) Thanks for resizing for me. I like my Moon vase a wee bit better than the one shown in the archive. The actual moon isn't quite so covered in clouds. ;D

I've only just seen this.  I'm sorry to hear this news. 
I'm trying to find a photo of my vase. A gift from my son chosen all on his own so it's precious and I love the piece.
