Proto Studios

Visted Proto Studios yesterday, in Pewsey, Wiltshire. It was set up by a guy called David Proto who has a personalised number plate. Theirs is a similar set up to Derix Studios in Germany. There's differing levels of artist involvement - you could simply send the artwork, and they will make the glass for you, or you can go down there and be more active in the making process.

It's a fantastic and inspiring place. The thing to remember is: you can do anything in glass! Or at least say you can, charge enough, and get Proto Studios to make it up for you...

Here's some photos, and I have made a LIVE link on the right to Proto Studios home page... it's worth a click.
