Peter Layton

Peter Layton is one of the world’s most widely respected glass artists. He has influenced, encouraged and nurtured several of this country’s leading glassmakers and has inspired many more internationally. Now in his seventies, Peter remains extremely active and is regarded as the “grand old man of glass”.

“Glass is extraordinarily seductive”, explains Peter, "Every piece is an adventure and you never know exactly what you have created until you open the kiln and see how a piece has turned out. I love that moment of surprise.”
