What’s something we look through every day, fascinates us with its amazing flexibility and has been used for thousands of years?
The answer is glass, and the fourth Cambridge Glass Fair at Knebworth on 2 October will provide a window on the wonderful world of all things blown, shaped, curled and created using this age-old medium. Around 70 exhibitors will show their wares inside the perfect ambience of Knebworth House Barns, with the fair showcasing all types and ages of antique and contemporary glass, from Georgian drinking glasses to modernist collectables.
A regular exhibitor is Allister Malcolm, who is resident glass artist at White House Cone, the new glass museum at Stourbridge.
There will be a glassblowing demonstration by E&M Glass, and a Welcome to the Zoo exhibition featuring a display of animal figures. Exhibitors will be happy to talk to visitors about their wares and answer questions.
It runs 10.30am-4pm and admission is £5.
