 John
Phillips discovered the difficult but fascinating medium of blown glass while
building a craft village in New Brunswick(1973). John travelled North America,
opening studios and perfecting his technique. He studied at the internationally
renowned Pilchuck Glass School in Washington, USA (1974,’75,’77,’96) and the
Brierly Hill Glass School, UK (Sept 1987-June ‘88) where he had a show at BC
House in London UK. John’s glass is sold throughout Canada and the United
States.
