About the Artist  

Michael Harris (1933-1994),

Isle of Wight Studio Glassworks

One of the great innovators of the British art glass movement, in the last forty years the Harris name has become synonymous with skillful and artistic glassmaking. Michael studied glass design during the 1950s at Stourbridge College of Art and at the Royal College of Art (RCA). In 1962 he was appointed Tutor in Industrial Glass at the RCA, where he taught for the next six years, setting up hot-glass facilities there in 1967. Harris was the first British studio glassmaker to work abroad. He moved to Malta where, with Eric Dobson, he established the Mdina Glassworks in 1969.

After selling the Mdina studio, the glassworks was founded in 1973 at St. Lawrence, Isle of Wight, by Michael and his wife, Elizabeth, also a noted designer. The tradition of innovative glass design was continued after Michael's death in 1994 by his two sons Timothy and Jonathan. Timothy is still the master glassmaker at IOWSG but Jonathan left IOWSG in 1999 to found his own glassworks elsewhere in the UK.
