GUILD OF GLASS ENGRAVERS
The Guild of Glass Engravers was founded over 40 years ago from an idea by two students of glass engraving, Elly Eliades and Elaine Freed who, finding that no formal glass engraving teaching existed, proposed forming a professional body for this art form. After they contacted noted engravers the first meeting was held in 1975. Laurence Whistler (1912-2000) was the first President with John Campbell Hutton, Vice President. The aims of the Guild are to promote the highest standards of creative design and craftsmanship in glass engraving. The Guild acts as a forum for the teaching and discussion of engraving techniques and new developments from around the world as well as acting as a source of information to the public on all aspects of glass engraving and advises the growing number of individuals and institutions wishing to commission work. Suffolk artist members of the Guild of Glass Engravers include Lesley Pyke.
