RD Glass is the business name of Roxanne Denny, a glass artist who designs and makes each piece by hand. She works from her home studio in the Lake District, Cumbria.

Any shaped pieces are 'slumped' into or over a mould in a separate

 

 

If you would like to see any of the glass in the flesh, then why not arrange a visit to the studio, or visit some of the many shops and galleries which sell RD Glass pieces.
