Where is Gather Glass made?
All our handblown glassware is made in our Woolwich studio, South East London. Each piece is carefully shaped by hand in small batches.
Who makes the glass?
Gather is led by artist and designer Phoebe Stubbs, with a small team of skilled glassblowers bringing over 18 years of experience.
What kind of glass do you use?
We use lead-free crystal glass - durable, food-safe, and free from toxic additives.
Is your glassware dishwasher safe?
Yes. We recommend placing items on the top rack or hand washing with warm water and mild detergent, especially for coloured glass.
Can I use it for hot drinks?
Our glassware is annealed for strength but not tempered. Use for warm to cold drinks only; avoid sudden temperature changes.
Is your packaging eco-friendly?
Yes. We use recyclable cardboard, paper wrap, and biodegradable loose fill to minimise environmental impact.
Can I return or exchange a product?
Yes. We offer a 30-day return policy for unused items in their original condition and packaging. Contact us at info@gather.glass to start a return.
What if my order arrives damaged?
If anything arrives broken, contact us with a photo within 14 days and we’ll arrange a replacement.
How It’s Made
At Gather, every piece begins with a gather, drawing molten glass from the furnace at over 1000°C. It’s the essential first step that sparks life into each creation.
In our Woolwich, London studio, we combine traditional glassblowing techniques with bold colours and thoughtful design. Some parts are shaped using moulds for precision, while many details are crafted by hand, layer by layer, breath by breath.
Each piece is slowly cooled, polished, and carefully inspected before it’s ready to be part of your table and home.
Finally, we pack every item in our signature Gather packaging, designed to protect, delight, and feel just as special as the glass inside.
