Glassworks and Gifts. Handmade in Stourbridge, UK.
Based in the historic glass making town of Stourbrdge in the West Midlands, N.Harris & Son consists of master craftsman, Neil Harris, and his son and apprentice, James.
Neil has over 30 years’ worth of experience in the glass industry, having worked at all of the major Stourbridge glass manufacturers, including Thomas Webb & Sons, Royal Brierley and Stuart Crystal. When the last of these glassworks closed in 2001, he set up as an independent craftsman specialising in lamp work. Today, Neil is perhaps best known for his distinctive range of crystal glass dogs.
As a ‘Lamp-worker’, Neil uses a powerful flame – often referred to as a torch or lamp – to melt rods of glass which are then shaped in molten form to create a single figurine. To sculpt the hot glass, Neil uses a small selection of simple metal tools, and never uses moulds of any kind, meaning that every dog he makes is unique, and no two are ever the same.
