Franco Toffolo also worked at Caithness for a good while, designing and making some amazing and massive pws, he spent a good part of his retirement working up here in Scotland, having the use of the facilities in John Deacon's Studio on Thursdays, where he made a lot of things in "the Scottish Style" of the Ysarts - with his own exhuberant twist, including a whole load of Tulip lamps. Many of these pieces were sold through The Strathearn Gallery in Crieff. I'm lucky enough to have a stunning big sommerso bowl.
Probably one of THE greats in contemporary glassmaking, he is now fully retired and living in England.
