“The British Glass Foundation is an enabling body bringing together all relevant and independent glass and cultural organisations and private individuals, in our common aim to protect and save the glass, archive and technical collections previously held at Broadfield House Glass Museum, and to ensure their future display to the public, access for research and continued growth”.
The British Glass Foundation was created in response to the announcement of the closure of Broadfield House Glass Museum.
The Foundation
• seeks to represent all other charities, organisations and individuals that have an interest in preserving our glass heritage.
• continues to raise the profile of the importance, locally, nationally and internationally, of the Dudley glass collections and archives.
• works closely in partnership with Dudley Council, the principal custodian of the glass collections, to accomplish its objectives.
• will promote contemporary glass artists.
