Cohesion is an initiative, supported by Sunderland City Council, which offers an unrivalled business support network for professional British based glassmakers.
Welcome to the Cohesion website, we hope you find it informative and easy to use.
There is a wealth of information behind the navigation buttons, not least a page on each of our members containing images of work and a link to the makers' own sites. Our 'Buy Glass Art' section contains images of work from our makers which is available to purchase directly and also has a list, with links, of great galleries who regularly support and sell great British glass.
In our 'Galleries ' section we also have a link to Alan J Poole's monthly newsletter - a definitive list of British and Irish glass artists exhibiting around the world and a great service.
Our Suppliers database contains lots of key suppliers to the sector, many of whom have been endorsed by Cohesion members for outstanding service.Take a look !
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.
