End-Of-Day Glass

Now and again our glass makers sway off the routine and create one off pieces of glass.

Truly one of a kind pieces

During breaks or at the end of the workday, glass blowers were generally allowed to fashion leftover molten glass into items for personal use. They created both utilitarian and decorative pieces that were entirely separate from the limited repertory of production work. These offhand objects, considered examples of folk art in glass, have been called whimsies or end-of-the-day glass, suggesting that they were frivolous and have only incidental significance. Although these terms do sound demeaning, ''Folk art illustrates the basic urge of the human spirit to create objects of beauty.''

Traditional glass blowing at Bristol Blue Glass

Ben Gough

Since its launch in 1994, the Heritage Open Days programmer has always featured a diverse range of manufacturing outlets which specially opened up their premises to the public, giving visitors a unique insight into traditional and modern manufacturing techniques in England.

To mark this year’s September event, Heritage Open Days has chosen to celebrate some of these manufacturing locations and companies and to highlight some of the surviving skills and crafts linked to specific areas of the country - such as Stoke on Trent, Bristol or Sheffield. Under the banner of “Made in England”, the Civic Trust is teaming up with five companies to raise awareness of the contribution England-based manufacturers make to the identity and wealth of local communities.

If you value our work and this country’s great manufacturing tradition and quality of design, why not have a look at our shop and support page. You can buy a range of specially branded or designed gifts as long as stocks last.

Each year Bristol Blue Glass opens up it’s unique factory for Heritage Open Days giving visitors demonstrations of traditional glass blowing techniques.
