Gather on BBC World Service: In the Studio
We’re excited to share that Gather founder Phoebe Stubbs was recently featured on the BBC World Service’s In the Studio.
In conversation with host Datshiane Navanayagam and Hungarian glass artist Mira Davida, Phoebe discusses the craft, care, and creativity behind contemporary glassmaking. The conversation moves through the realities of running a working glassblowing studio in London, where molten glass, heat, and precision shape both production and experimentation.
From maintaining one of the last hot glass studios in the city to blending traditional furnace techniques with contemporary design, it offers a thoughtful look at life behind the furnace - and the ongoing making of our handblown glassware collection.
The discussion sits alongside our wider studio practice - from production runs to bespoke commissions and collaborations - all developed within a live making environment where design and process happen in real time.
