About

A small company, based in Bristol, that make and sell completely hand made glass.

Story

Bristol Blue Glass was founded back in 1988 by James Adlington, with the help of glass maker Peter St Clair. The aim was to re-establish a tradition that had been lost for over 60 years - the art of glass-making. Twenty-nine years on, at Bristol Blue Glass, we still endeavour to keep the tradition alive. We develop our makers and their skills as we go, adding new products to our range following customer demand and the tendencies of our Makers.

All our work is hand free blown, without the use of molds and although we are most famous for our traditional Bristol Blue Glass, our work also includes our Ruby range and sculptural items. In our friendly Studio Shop you will find a wide variety of art glass in a host of amazing colours.

Please browse through our products online or, come and visit our Studio and Shop to watch our skilled and happy Glass makers at work and see unique pieces in the making.

We have been imitated by Charlatans throughout our existence and this continues, to this day - beware pale imitations.

Reviews

Really enjoy visiting and love the glass, it is unique and magical, however some purchases have been found wanting.  1) The base of stopper in a scent bottle was rough & chipped, i returned it & has now been improved by sanding down. 2) tear drop necklace- the teardrop constantly fell out of the silver claw, it was exchanged but replacement still falls out, as the silver  is too soft. 3) stud earrings - after two wears both studs came off the silver  backs as i put them in - fed up with returning so husband glued them back on with Araldite.  This is pretty poor and i must say has put me off any further purchases, especially jewellery, such a shame.

commissioned them to make me some glasses for friends because i accidentally dropped them, their reproduction of the original was pretty much perfect...how can you beat that!

Bristol Blue Glass has a large double fronted shop on Bath Road, Bristol. It's right opposite  the main entrance to Arnos Vale Cemetery. Upon entering the shop, you'll see an abundance of colourful and shiny items of glassware, cleverly highlighted by the instore lighting. 
Glasses, baubles and trinkets too many to mention,  from the traditional Bristol Blue to a mirriad of colours from a rainbow. My wife and I wanted to suprise our  ( grown up children ) with something a little different for Christmas, and we weren't disappointed. The members of staff were friendly and helpful. While there we took the opportunity to go downstairs to the glass blowing workshop, it was very warm there, owing to the glass furnaces going at full tilt. The glass blower guys were at work producing vaises in cobalt blue glass, as we sat there one of the staff was giving a running comentry on what was happening, and I must admit it was a very informative 15 minutes. Overall well worth a visit and would recommend. ps if you find this review helpful, please give it a 👍

Blue glass shop and workshop.  You can watch them making glass items and even have a go yourself!   Pretty hot in there!

Much more to this retail outlet than just the city's renowned cobalt-blue glassware. Also mirrors, Tiffany lamps, jewellery and many other coloured glass goods, both decorative and practical.
