Cottontwist

Cottontwist

This project was originally undertaken for John Lewis following a ‘jolt’ of inspiration that I found in the glass gallery at the V&A.

As I wandered through the history of European glassmaking through the ages I came across several examples of this exquisite technique and was charmed by the name ‘Cottontwist’ which seemed so apt.

It took a while to track down a studio that could still master the process but eventually we managed to locate a brilliant team of craftsmen in Transylvania and I had the best time discovering that beautiful part of the world and putting into practise my vision.

As it happens a real commercial hit for John Lewis too, so over to you to select your pleasure – Champagne, Red wine, Martini, Sherry or Water as you prefer…?!
