OUR STORY
It all started in 2015 when I started to offer fused glass workshops to locals from a warehouse unit called 'Studio 8'. So if you're wondering where the name Studio8 Glass came from, it's a reminder of where this all started!
As the workshops grew in popularity, I moved the business to Dockyard where I started selling handmade fused glass necklaces and offering the workshops to visitors to the island. In 2018 I opened my first shop in the Clocktower Mall selling eye-catching fused glass jewelry and ornaments. Each piece is individually handmade in-store by myself and my talented staff and made from local hand blown Venetian glass from Dockyard Glassworks. This makes every piece unique and one of a kind.
In 2019 I expanded the shop to a larger store in the Clocktower Mall allowing me to combine both the store and studio. We now can offer our fused glass workshops in-store in our working glass studio where we make all our products. See below a few photos of the shop taking shape.

We hope you enjoy our store and that you come and visit us from time to time to see what's happening and support a local business. We have new pieces of jewelry being made daily so there's always something new to look at. Or why not sign up to a workshop and have a go at making your own?
FUSED GLASSGlass fusing is the joining together of pieces of glass at high temperatures and we do this using one of our kilns which we have in store.
Firstly the pieces of glass are cut and shaped using a range of tools, carefully stacked or positioned together to create a unique shape or design and then pieces are fired in our kilns to approximately 1500°F and then cooled to room temperature. Once cooled we finish the pieces into necklaces, earrings, bracelets and many other products. |
