A History of a Gathering: Substack Launch by Phoebe Stubbs
What does it mean to be a glassmaker in a rapidly changing world?
Gather founder Phoebe Stubbs has just published her first long-form journal on Substack - an ongoing exploration of glass, design, and the everyday rhythms of a working glassblowing studio in London.
Her first piece, Reflections on Glass, looks at the histories and material intelligence behind glassmaking, and the role of time, process, and repetition in shaping contemporary craft practice. Written from within the studio, it offers a closer view of the thinking that sits alongside the making of our handblown glassware collections.
The journal marks the beginning of an ongoing series - a space to share ideas, research, and reflections from inside the studio, alongside the production of handblown glass, bespoke commissions, and collaborative work.
