This week in the run-up to the Festival of Stuff we asked UCL Chemistry’s glassblower John Cowley to come over and test our lamp working setup. He made us this beautiful hollow glass honey spoon. Over in his specialist workshop he makes and repairs custom scientific glassware using borosilicate glass tubes for the department. UCL is one of the few Universities that still has a glassblower on staff. John features in this great video. Glass artist Shelley James. Tel: 020 7679 3248.
