An exciting new fair dedicated to antique and modern glass

The Art Glass Fair will hold its second event on the 19th October 2008. This series of dedicated glass fairs is an exciting and interesting addition to the London and Dulwich calendar and the organizers extend an equally warm welcome to established collectors and those who are completely new to collectible glass.

The first exhibition was on Chance Glass (pictured above. more info on this link) and accompanied the launch of David Encill's book Chance Expressions. The second exhibition will be announced shortly.

The fair has been founded by collector and writer David Marshall who has a passion for glass and a mission to share this passion with a wider audience. To this end a series of two fairs a year will be held in the vibrant and excitingly atmospheric venue of Dulwich College and visitors can come and see a truly awe-inspiring array of glass that can enrich and enhance any home and maybe even blossom into new collections.
