This is the sixth annual exhibition at Parndon Mill devoted to works of art in glass.

This year six glass artists now have studios at Parndon Mill and their work will be included in the exhibition. Heike Brachlow makes polished cast pieces which are concerned with movement and balance. Karen Murphy, Ewa Wawrzyniak and Dominique Conte mainly work with fused glass, making dishes, bowls and wall pieces. They also use the process of casting glass. Jon Lewis and his partner Yuki Kokai operate a hot glass studio, blowing vessels and making sculpture and wall pieces which often incorporate wood and metal and shimmering dichroic glass.

Other artists taking part in Glasshaus VI are Chrystalla Achilleos, Teresa Chlapowski, James Lethbridge, Laura McKinley, Caroline Moiret, Carla Sealey, Jessica Townsend Fiaz Elson, Catherine Hough and members of The London Glassblowing Workshop including Peter Layton, Layne Rowe, Cathryn Shilling & Lois Thompson. London Glassblowing is a hot glass studio focused on the creation and display of contemporary glass art. The studio has a reputation as one of Europe's leading glassmaking workshops with a particular flair for the use of colour, form and texture.
