Making the last of the White bowls, adding the white lip wrap to the unfinished form.

Gremlins gone 🤞

A line of molten white glass is added to what will be the rim of the bowl before Stephen opens up that small hole little by little in the heat, to make the bowl form we all know.

We want to extend our deepest and most sincere thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate our 30th Anniversary Birthday party—especially those who braved what turned out to be the worst weather of the summer to be there with us.

Despite the rain, the atmosphere was warm and vibrant. The tents were bustling with laughter and conversation, as guests stayed dry and raised their glasses.
The champagne flowed freely, and we were delighted to see so many enjoying the delicious canapés created by the incredibly talented Chef Fabien Hombourger, who generously kept over 100 guests well fed and happy throughout the day.

As we reflect on this milestone, we feel immense gratitude for the many people who have been part of our journey in the 30 years since we first made Rosedale our home, with the support of our family and our community.

We are especially thankful for the dedication and hard work of the wonderful assistants we’ve had over the years. A special mention must go to Dave, who has been with us for the past decade—his careful attention and effort preparing the orchard garden made it truly shine for the celebration. And of course, our amazing children, who rolled up their sleeves and kept things running smoothly behind the bar on the day.

But most importantly, we want to thank you—our community of customers, friends, and supporters. Whether you’ve visited us in the studio, purchased a piece of our glass, given our work as a gift, or simply appreciated what we do—you are the reason we continue to create. Your enthusiasm, encouragement, and loyalty are what sustain us, inspire us, and make all of this possible.
Thank you for being part of our story and for helping us mark this unforgettable milestone. We feel truly honoured and humbled by your continued support.

Here’s to the years ahead—may they be filled with as much creativity, connection, and glassmaking as the last.

With gratitude,
Stephen & Kate
