Uredale Glass

by Tim & Maureen Simon

In 1981, Tim founded Uredale Glass at Masham.  His passion for colour found a new canvas, as his relationship with this fascinating material grew.  Most of his work has been freeblown in the traditional manner with no moulds used just the skill of eye and judgement of experience.

Over the years he has trained 3 apprentices - The first, Stephen Lindars has set up his own studio.  The second was his wife Maureen. Together they have formed a formidable design team.  Maureen's interest in textiles combined with Tim's love of colour produces work that is vibrant, flowing and constantly evolving. The third, Scott Allen still works with them.  Due to their location and the training of apprentices, over the years they have developed products ranging from small gifts to tableware, lighting, a classic selection of bowls and vases as well as one off pieces for the collector / investor.

Tim also works to commission in stained glass and more recently has developed a range of glass which combines freeblown work with kilnformed techniques in a way that enhances the medium in a unique way.
