SUMMARY:A trip to Bristol Blue Glass with Ian Jarvis
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 26 October  –  Bristol Blue Glass \nCoach £20\, Entrance £8.50 – Total £28.50 per person \n  \nIf you’ve ever had a glass of Bristol Cream sherry from Harvey’s\, then you’ve probably had it from a Bristol blue bottle (though your memory might well be hazy. We’re not judging.) \nBut take it from us (and from their website): No moulds. No mass-production. No shortcuts. Everything at Bristol Blue Glass is made by hand\, using traditional techniques. \nWe’re going on a tour of the factory (just under an hour)\, with a visit to the shop\, if anyone feels tempted afterward. (Already we have a mental list of suspects.) They can only take a certain number of us at a time; so\, while one group is looking round\, we’ve arranged for tea and cake (optionally – to be bought and paid for individually) across the road for those who would like it. The café is in Arnos Vale\, a unique Victorian garden cemetery and 45-acre heritage site\, with plenty of self-guided walks (arnosvale.org.uk) \nIf anyone fancies a potted history of the glass factory\, it’s worth quoting the following: \nDuring the late 18th century\, Richard Champion\, a Bristol merchant and potter\, making Bristol porcelain\, was working with a chemist\, William Cookworthy. Cookworthy began a search for good quality cobalt oxide to give a blue glaze decoration on the white porcelain and obtained exclusive import rights to all the cobalt oxide from the Royal Saxon Cobalt Works in Saxony. It is uncertain when Bristol blue glass was first made but the quality and beauty of the glass swiftly gained popularity\, with seventeen glass houses being set up in the city. \nBristol’s glass makers were invited to demonstrate their skills at the Great Exhibition of 1851\, opened by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. At this period cranberry glass was made for the first time by adding 24 carat gold to lead crystal\, giving the glass its ruby red tones. \nProduction ceased in about 1923. \nBristol-based glass makers James Adlington and Peter Sinclair held their Hot Glass exhibition in 1988 at Hand Made Glass\, Bristol. This exhibition led to a revival of Bristol’s hand-blown glass industry. \n0845-0900h Nailsworth/Box/Minch pickups \n1000h            Bristol Blue Glass \n1300h                        Leave for home
