Tuffnell Glass – Teresa Blofeld
Martin Tuffnell has been glassblowing for over 20 years and re-launched Tuffnell Glass in 1998 with his partner Teresa, an experienced beadmaker. Together they offer custom made beads, teach bead making and carry a large range of glass and bead making equipment. They successfully organised the Towcester Flame Off in April 2008 – which was recognised as the first United Kingdom event that was dedicated to glass bead making! It was such a success, that they have gone on to organise the Flame Off in 2009 and again in 2010.
On the rare occasions that Teresa is not organising Flame Offs and dispatching glass goodies for lampwork bead artists all over the UK she has been known to make rather lovely beads. Martin makes a pretty nifty glass pig sculpture too!
