The International Festival of Glass’ diverse programme will inspire and amaze artists, glass enthusiasts and the public alike. The Festival is unique in its breadth and accessibility for all levels of interest and expertise. Watch, listen or make – the Festival promises a fun-filled, educational visit to the Stourbridge Glass Quarter.

Come along and help us celebrate one of the most fascinating and diverse art forms around.
The Festival’s comprehensive Artist Programme brings together glass artists and enthusiasts from all over the world, offering them the chance to network and learn from their peers. World renowned glass makers travel to the area to pass on a wealth of knowledge and experience in their specialist fields. During the Festival, those with a keener interest in glass can attend lectures, demonstrations, workshops, symposia and trade fairs, whilst being inspired by the wealth of world class glass on display at numerous exhibitions, including the prestigious British Glass Biennale.
