British Glass Biennale 2008

The 2008 Biennale exhibition was once again an outstanding showcase of the work of 80 artists, designers and craftspeople and remained the largest selling exhibition of contemporary glass in the country. The 2008 exhibition saw new relationships forged with The Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers, offering exhibitors new awards; and Craftsman craft&design magazine offering increased press exposure in the form of the first ’People’s Prize’.
