JOHN DITCHFIELD (Hand Made) GLASS 34cm IRRIDESCENT VASE /SCULPTRE .
(Born in Blackpool, England, in 1952, John Ditchfield became interested in glass making when he took a holiday job in 1968, working at the Venetian Glass Company with an Italian master glass blower. He subsequently gave up his catering course to pursue the craft of glassmaking. Working together with the Italian master Franco Toffolo for seven years, he learnt basic and complicated techniques of Venetian glass making.
In the search to improve and refine his glassmaking techniques John discovered the glass of the Art Nouveau period particularly the work of Tiffany and Loetz. This led him to the eminent Tiffany Collection at the Haworth Museum, Accrington. He was fascinated by the intricacies of Tiffany’s style and the complex chemical processes which were used to achieve the fine effects. This fascination has led him down many paths.)
