Since its inception in 2004, the festival has developed into the leading event for glass in the UK through exploring and sharing the skill and innovation of glassmakers from around the world, especially through the flagship British Glass Biennale exhibition.
Appearing for the first time at Collect, the International Festival of Glass showcases 28 artists from Japan, South Korea and China who featured in its 2022 Expanding Horizons exhibition and deserve wider recognition for their innovative, exquisite work. It includes respected masters, such as Hiroshi Yamano and Jiyong Lee, alongside rising stars Youngho Park, Daisuke Takeuchi and Zhenning Li.
