From Cornwall to you with Merlin Glass


Last April, I wrote a post about a Cornish glassblower named Liam Carey. I'd met Liam on Twitter and I was very impressed with the glass door and cabinet knobs he makes. I'm still impressed and Liam's been working overtime on his marketing efforts. Liam's company is called Merlin Glass.

Merlin Glass just made a marketing video. As a glassblower, Liam makes far more than door knobs and in this video he's making a perfume bottle. Feast your eyes on this:




This video's as well-made as his glass. Wow.

Merlin Glass is available outside of the UK if you buy from Liam directly. If you're interested in becoming a dealer they would love to talk to you. Check out Merlin Glass' website.

  9. That video is excellent.
    When I was in Italy years ago, I watched a guy make glass one day, I sat there for hours.
    I could literally watch someone hand make glass all day long. It fascinates me.
    Liam's work is beautiful.

  11. Venice.
    Geez, it's been about 10 years now.
    It was WAY before I could appreciate the stone like I would now.
    The Carrara marble quarry is right at the top of my list of places to see before I die.
