Back to the Future will celebrate 400 years - yes, that's four hundred - of glassmaking in Stourbridge (in the West Midlands). Contemporary glass artists were asked to propose work inspired by the historic glass collections held by Dudley Council - which runs Broadfield House.
If you're close enough to visit the Museum, I'd recommend it - there really is something for everyone. One of my favourite finds during this project was the cabinet of glass owls - the "Wilkie Cooper Collection". The pictures show just a tiny taster! I was definitely tempted to use them as the inspiration for my proposal - but went in an entirely different direction. More on that another time.
