In the late 1960’s, I completed a traditional Apprenticeship in scientific glassblowing. After many years working in both University and Industrial sectors, I founded GrahamReedGlass© and Sci-Glass Consultancy to promote my experience, knowledge and skills to serve potential clients.

“You think it – I will make it!” accurately describes my offer to you. I focus on creating new and attractive decorative glass designs using all that experience and skill as a ‘lamp-worker’. I also continue to make and repair scientific laboratory apparatus.

I offer a practical demonstration lasting about 45minutes to Clubs and Family groups. I will describe the many aspects of glass and its uses in your life. These demonstrations give you the chance to ‘have-a-go! I also offer structured lessons for beginners and improvers.

I used my experience and skills to contribute as a member of Glass Training Association and Chair of the British Society of Scientific Glassblowers and its Examination Board. I am a Fellow and Master Glassblower of the BSSG.

I have almost fifty years of experience in the design and manufacture of laboratory glassware.
I can help you if you:
Work with scientific apparatus, especially glassware.
Need to setup glassblowing facilities & training of apprentices & staff.

My clients extend across the widest spectrum:
Agriculture / academia / analysis / chemical manufacture / drink & food / general manufacture / pharma / research and science.

I have trained school-leavers and Adults to become fully skilled glassblowers.
I have designed and setup complete glassblowing workshops.
I have advised Recruiters to assist in their own recruitment.
I have and will audit the operational procedures including Safety management for commercial businesses. Contact me here for further information.

Too many accidents & glass breakages occur because of inadequate training in the home or workplace.

I employ and share my 54 years of experience in making, modifying and repairing all glassware used in academic, industrial, laboratory, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and process-glass apparatus sectors to provide you and your colleagues with a fully structured SAFETY & HANDLING COURSE.

The Course is designed to give a general introduction and guidance lecture to 24 people. I then work with groups of 4-6 staff in their workplace, examining working procedures and operating practice.

I use the understanding gained at this stage to identify and suggest modified ways of working to reduce the costly and dangerous handling habits that will have such a detrimental effect on your business. Depending upon the numbers of people and the range of working environments, the full Course can be completed within two days.

I have a superb record in setting up glass workshops and training beginners and intermediate skills up to the top of their trade. I am willing to travel Worldwide for short to medium-term contracts.
