Company nominated for top award
The Glaziers' Company was one of only six organisations nominated from about a hundred organisations for the Worldskills UK Partner of the Year Award, announced at the Excel Centre on 6 October during the Worldskills London 2011 international competitions finals. The Award is for UK competition partners whose competitions far exceed Worldskills UK’s national requirements in terms of quality.
The Stevens Architectural Glass Competition became a Worldskills UK national competition three years ago. The Glaziers Company was nominated for the excellent quality of feedback provided to the competitors during the Seminar, conducted by the judging panel on the afternoon of the annual Prizegiving at Glaziers Hall. The Award was won by L’Oreal.

Adelle, through her organisation of the Company's Award for Excellence, Ashton Hill Awards and Travelling Scholarship, mentored many young artists while arranging their placements and she was immensely proud of the fact that the majority of the Company's Award winners went on to successful careers in glass. Her work as a stained glass artist is featured elsewhere on this web site, where it will remain as a tribute to her

Joining the Glaziers
The majority of our members join because they have an interest in, and a love of, this most accessible and beautiful of art forms. We do, however, count many glass artists among our members, and you can see some of their work on this website, and, if you wish, enquire about commissioning work from them.
If you are interested in becoming a member please contact us.
