THE GLASSBLOWER
North Coast Glass is a renowned Scottish glass studio based in Tain, just north of Inverness. Brodie and his team are incredibly talented, frequently commissioned by whiskey distilleries to create unique bottles to celebrate milestone releases and recently featured on ‘Britain’s most beautiful road’ on Channel 4.
The Woodland Series is one of their latest creations, and follows in the footsteps of ‘Coast’ and ‘Rock’. It features mouth-blown glass vases which have been dipped into buckets of pine cones from the local forests whilst still at molten temperatures. To watch these being created is dramatic, but so are the vases themselves. Each one is totally unique, featuring its own organic fingerprint.
