Gather is a modern British glassmaking studio in Woolwich, London. We make handblown glassware, contemporary lighting and craft experiences, all shaped by hand in our London hotshop.
Why Gather?
Our name holds our studio ethos. To gather is to lift molten glass from the furnace and form it with timing and judgement.
It is also the vivid warmth of people gathering - at tables laid with glass, in homes and in the studio - around objects with presence.
Our Founder
Phoebe Stubbs discovered glass twenty years ago at an introductory workshop. The weight, heat, and tactility of the material left a lasting impression. She left interior design to train intensively, studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, and honed her craft alongside leading glassmakers through apprenticeships and assistant roles.
In 2020, with a distinct aesthetic and refined skillset, Phoebe founded Gather.
Our London Studio
On the banks of the Thames in Woolwich, our contemporary studio transforms molten glass into quietly extraordinary objects.
Here, colour, heat, and precision converge to create designer glassware and refined lighting - pieces meant to be touched, held, and lived with.
We champion handmade glass not as a relic, but as an integral, vibrant part of everyday life.
What We Make
Our handblown work spans:
- Glassware collections - Colour-led pieces for the table, from the playful Miami to the elevated, smoke-hued New York.
- Lighting - Bespoke pendants, chandeliers, and shades designed to bring interiors to life.
- Editions and custom pieces - One-off or small-run projects developed with designers, studios, and brands.
Gather’s work has been featured in Vogue, The Sunday Times Style, BBC World Service, Financial Times, and Elle Décor, and is stocked by Fortnum & Mason, Bergdorf Goodman, and other select retailers.
Make with Gather
Collaboration sits at the heart of our practice. We have partnered with Henry Holland, Lululemon, Harrods, Abask and Kit Kemp to develop and handcraft standout pieces.
For trade clients we offer complete design and making services - from prototyping to production - bringing craft sensitivity and technical realism to every project. Connect with the studio to discuss briefs and timelines.
Craft with Gather
We keep our process open. Clients and collaborators often visit to see Phoebe and the team at work.
We also run glassblowing courses and workshops in London for individuals and groups of all skill levels. Guided by our makers, every visitor experiences the real rhythm of the hotshop and leaves with a self-made piece.
