History of John Ditchfield and Glasform Studio
John Ditchfield became interested in glass making after taking a holiday job at the Venetian Glass Company in 1968. He worked with an Italian master glass blower Franco Toffolo for seven years where he learned both the basic and complicated techniques of Venetian glass blowing.
After traveling Europe developing and gaining new skills he returned to his home town of Blackpool in 1981 and opened a studio called Glasform. For over 43 years John Ditchfield has continued to work with other artists and craftsmen exchanging and developing ideas.
