John Ditchfield

A mile away from our house is the gallery & workshop of the very talented glass blower John Ditchfield. www.Glasform.com.

I have been on a visit this morning to pick up a present from our eldest son & daughter in law for our golden wedding next month.
We didn't know what they had bought us, all online, we just had to pick it up.

This is himself in the blue shirt working in his studio. You can watch them at work & next door is the gallery & shop.

His pieces are very collectable & some of them signed & numbered.

You can see the lovely surprise in my extras album.

Very clean and bright looking shop! The ones outside of Venice are so dark.

@snowy If you don't see it when I post it Diana you can look on my main album & click on the top right hand corner where it says 2 albums, it should bring up two pictures just click on the ''extra'' one. Thank you too for your thoughts.
