Factories and Studios

There are many glass studios and crystal companies in the Stourbridge Glass Quarter and further afield, some of whom provide engraving services or undertake commissions for those who want a unique piece of glass. Several have workshops that can be viewed by the public, although some by appointment only. There are also several retailers who specialise in glassware.
