At the tip of the wheel aims to uplift at-risk techniques through a blended historical and contemporary exhibition, complemented with workshops and demos.
Taking over a cavernous exhibition space in the old blowing hall, works from 17 contemporary glass cutters and engravers will sit side-by-side with historic works from the collection. A wide range of engraving techniques will be displayed, from extreme deep cutting to delicate copper wheel engraving, including the work of Cockpit maker Katharine Coleman MBE.
