Visit Ashes into Glass ®

We appreciate the trust that our clients place in our company, our process and our craftspeople and we are open for visitors seven days a week. For our clients in Canada, you can visit our glassworks via live stream to see your jewellery being made.

Barleylands Craft Village

The creation process is carried out in our studios and workshops at Barleylands Craft Village, Essex (near London), England. This has been our home for more than 20 years. Our founders James Watts and Bill Rhodes have been handmaking glass here since 1996.

Making The Gemstone

We’ll show you our process of incorporating the ashes with the colored crystals and molten glass to make the gemstone. This cools down slowly in our kiln and we will complete the remaining stages after your visit.

Family & Friends

You are very welcome to bring family or friends to see the process, there is enough space in our workshops. If you are viewing online, we will give you a time slot and an invitation to send to your family.

Make a Booking

If you would like to visit to see the creation of your jewellery, please make a note on your order form. When we have the ashes at our studio in England, we will contact you to make an appointment.
