We would like to start by thanking all our customers, clients, colleagues and friends for their continued support through these challenging times.
On a positive note, the Ruskin Glass Centre & Cafe has announced its full reopening on 8th September, with further measures in place to keep visitors, customers and staff safe.
We are also working towards the possibility of returning to run workshops & classes in the near future. The Studio has put in place a number of safety measures for visitors and this is being reviewed regularly and updated according to Government & Public Health England guidance.
In the meantime we are asking for expressions of interest from regulars and new, who would consider returning to attend workshops & classes. There will be a number of changes, which will include smaller groups (maximum 2) and strict hygiene measures in place.
It still stands that any unused ‘Gift Vouchers’ will have their ‘Valid to Date’ extended, so when safe to do so we can move forward and make bookings.
Thank you for your patience & understanding.
