Cohesion is the network for glassmakers. Originating in the North of England it is sponsored by Sunderland City Council.
Welcome to Cohesion's new website. We've designed it so that there is a clear emphasis on the fantastic work that our members create and, we hope, an easy route for galleries, collectors or indeed everyone to find a piece of fabulous British Glass to buy. Check out our 'Buy Glass Art' section.
This is a first phase, there's more to come and we thank Mat and John at Blumilk and Jo and Zoe at Cohesion for a great deal of hard work in recent weeks. We hope you enjoy browsing the site and find it easy to use.
Cohesion's Mission Statement
'The aim of Cohesion is to assist and support glass businesses and practitioners to develop their skills, to create new opportunities and to promote the quality and diversity of their work to wider markets'
We do this by encouraging individual artists to work together with others to explore markets and selling events that they may not otherwise be able to access as an individual. Working as a group helps keep costs down and lets makers try out new shows and events in a cost effective way.
Cohesion underpins this with practical advice and support, help with funding for the development of new work and an information service that keeps artists abreast of potential commissions, competitions and events.
