Attractions Shop till you drop Bristol Blue Glass

Why spend time searching around the shops when you can come directly to the factory at The Bristol Glass Centre, home of Bristol Blue Glass Bedminster? Watch in wonder as the master blower Steve Baker, and his team of skilled craftsmen. demonstrate the art of glassblowing. The magnificent glass pieces they create from from a red hot, glowing blend of silica sand, lead oxide, cobalt and potash are truly amazing. Browse round the shop to see if anything takes your fancy. The wide range of blue glass includes vases, jugs, wine glasses, decanters, bowls, coasters, paperweights, jewellery, limited editions and more. If blue is not your colour there is also a lovely range of Cranberry glass. Don't leave without taking a look at the displays of beautiful antique glass in the museum area.

Bookings for groups or private parties can be arranged to view a demonstration of glass blowing.
