Intelligent glassmaking. Improbable colour.
Gather Glass is a production glassblowing studio on the banks of the Thames in Woolwich, London. We make handblown glassware, contemporary lighting, and bespoke pieces for brands and designers, all shaped by hand in the same studio where the furnace runs through the night. Our name holds our process: to gather is to lift molten glass from the furnace, the first act of every piece we make. It is also the warmth of people around a table, around objects that have weight and presence and a history behind them. Everything we do starts in Woolwich and carries that origin with it.
Phoebe Stubbs
Phoebe founded Gather in 2020 after twenty years working in glass. She trained at the Rhode Island School of Design and her craft traces a direct lineage through some of the most important glassmakers of the last century - a rare thing in a field where that kind of knowledge is passed hand to hand. Her work is driven by a single conviction: that colour is structural, not decorative.
What We Make
Gather's work spans handblown glassware, contemporary lighting, and brand collaborations.
The collections - Miami, New York, Verona, and others, are colour-led and made for use. The lighting work is bespoke: pendants, chandeliers, and shades developed with designers and clients from brief to installation.
Gather has been featured in Vogue, the Financial Times, The Sunday Times Style, and Elle Décor. Various pieces are stocked at Fortnum & Mason, Bergdorf Goodman, and Selfridges.
Collaborations
Gather works with brands and designers who understand that making is a skill, not a service.
Past collaborators include Henry Holland, Lululemon, Abask, and Kit Kemp. Each project is developed in the Woolwich studio, from prototype to finished piece.
Classes and Experiences
The Hot Shop is open. Gather runs glassblowing classes and experiences for individuals, groups, and corporate bookings - guided by the studio's makers in the same space where the collections are made. Every visitor leaves with something they made themselves.
