Additional Information : The influence and legacy of American Samuel J Herman on the British studio glass movement cannot be overstated. Inspired by the godfather of studio glass Harvey Littleton he was to become the conduit for the movement both transatlantic and across the Pacific. Fluid designs and striking swathes of colour typify his designs. Michael Harris and Sam Herman together inspired an entire modern British industry.

Louis Leloup is widely acclaimed as the last of the last of the great Belgian glass masters. His work has been exhibited internationally and there is a museum in Japan dedicated to his work.
