If you’re looking for a fun way to show your appreciation to your bairns’ teachers I have a limited number of these glass tokens in stock.

They’re £10 each, plus £2 P&P, and are available in 2 designs. The one on the left comes with a randomly selected heart token in various colours, and the one on the right has a gold star 😀 The glass token is 4cm square.

Please PM me to order x

🌟🌟Competition closes Fri 5th June at 6pm🌟🌟

🥳 It’s 5 years since we opened the Glansin Glass Visitor Centre!! 🎉🍾

Where has the time gone? I’ve been blown away by the amazing support. We’ve had folk along who’ve said they came to Shetland because they wanted to visit Glansin Glass, that’s the power of social media!

We’ve welcomed so many lovely customers and to date have had more that 2,500 folk in making their own glass masterpieces at our glass-making sessions. (Book online at https://www.glansinglass.co.uk/workshops/)

To mark this auspicious occasion 😄 I would like to do a peerie competition. In the comments below post a photo of your piece of glass you made with me, or your piece of Glansin Glass that you purchased, and I’ll put your names in a hat to win a voucher for a glass class, or a glass kit if you’re not in Shetland. (If the winner is outside the UK we’ll think of something else 😆)

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart 💙
