The North East of England has a long tradition of glassmaking starting in the 7th century when a monk brought glassmakers from France to what is now the City of Sunderland to make the first stained glass windows.
Although the numerous glass factories of the 17th and 18th centuries have now closed, there is still a wealth of glassmaking in the region but much of it takes place in small studios by artists and craftsmen using a wide range of processes.
