Welcome to Stourbridge Glass Museum - a new museum at the heart of Stourbridge's Glass Quarter, opening to the public for the first time in Spring 2022. The museum is housed in the Grade II listed former Stuart Crystal Glassworks, which has been creatively and imaginatively adapted for the purpose. Combining both permanent and temporary exhibition galleries, a hot glass making studio and a hands-on activities space for children and their families, this innovative new museum will serve regional, national and international audiences.
Greatly enjoyed our visit here. Helpful and friendly staff. Not a huge place, but a lot of glass objects to see, admire and marvel at. We went during a special exhibition, I guess there are other exhibitions after it ends. There's a glass blowing studio attached where you can watch glass being blown; and the very different but equally fascinating Red Cone complex immediately opposite (see separate review).
We came for a family glass fusing workshop. Which was a great experience, can't wait to pick up our creation. Then we got to look around the museum. Beautiful displays from all ages techniques and styles. Sprinkled with fun activities. You can see masters at work in the workshop. Everyone is very friendly and happy to share their wisdom. Well worth a visit, a good way to spend a few hours indoors. Free parking is always a bonus
This is an interesting museum about glass. If you look on their website or call ahead in advance, it is possible to visit on a day when the underground tours are running or other events are taking place. The glass gallery upstairs displays a variety of modern art alongside the older pieces located downstairs
A fantastic day out. Great demos and the art on display was astounding. Roy gave us a guided tour which was detailed. He was very knowledgeable and enriched our experience and appreciation of the items on display. Would definitely come back. Plenty of parking and allow 2 to 3 hours to enjoy the whole experience. If you watch Blown Away, you might see a celeb or two
We found the museum randomly as it was at a good distance between London and Manchester and I'm so glad we visited! A volunteer named Stan showed us around and was talking about the glass (history, designers, the glass making process...etc) so passionately! We could also peek into the cameo glass decorating with Terri Colledge or find out about the challenges of managing a glass production in general, including the goal to get CO2 neutral. The tour was surprisingly fascinating and I will never look at glass the same way Thanks to everyone we interacted with during our visit as they all were really eager to make our stay nice.
This proved to be a great experience. There was a range of glass craft and styles at reasonable prices bearing in mind the amount of work required to produce the work. Special note on the paintings by artist Keith Turley. They are worth a visit alone as the artistry is of the high quality.
