We invite submissions for All Things Great and Small, an online glass exhibition exploring scale and detail in everyday life. We welcome a wide range of glassmaking techniques—from traditional blowing, casting, and fusing to experimental approaches—and are particularly interested in works that highlight the extraordinary in the familiar, whether through monumental forms or intricate, close-up details.

You don't need to be a member to apply! Free to enter

Deadline for entries - 1st May 2026

The latest guest on the Material Matters podcast is Sophie Thomas. It’s fair to say that @tmsophie has a CV that can genuinely be described as intriguing. As one website put it, she is an ‘unusual mix of campaigner, practising designer and chartered waste manager’. She has been at the forefront of the debate about sustainable design for the best part of 30 years and, in 2025, was awarded an OBE for her tireless work.

Among other things, she founded the pioneering (but now defunct) communications consultancy Thomas.Matthews in 1997 and led the the influential Great Recovery Project in 2012. Currently, she wears a number of (always sustainable) hats… although, as you will discover, her career is about to take another turn.

In this episode we talk about: how her interest in sustainability and waste began; working on the Earth Centre and why it wasn’t a failure; a life-changing trip to a recycling centre in the Netherlands; taking a thousand designers to rubbish tips across the country; her obsession with the toothbrush; collaborating with the likes of glassblower @louisglass and designers @elladorandesigner and @becky_earley ; her feelings of guilt and her desire to create; being a ‘graphic activist’; and why ink is her future.

🌊 Ghost Ocean
von Louis Thompson & Sophie Thomas

Die Installation beschäftigt sich mit Plastikverschmutzung in den Ozeanen. Verwendet werden Materialien wie Meeresplastik und Netze, die aus dem Wasser geborgen wurden.
Die Arbeit macht sichtbar, welche Mengen an Abfall in globale Kreisläufe gelangen und sich dort über lange Zeiträume verteilen. Gleichzeitig verweist sie auf die Herkunft und die Wege der einzelnen Fundstücke.
Ghost Ocean zeigt damit konkrete Auswirkungen menschlichen Handelns auf die Meeresumwelt.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this week’s Inspire Circular event at the Design Museum in London.

It was inspiring to hear how global businesses, agencies and innovators are driving circular design and material innovation, advocating for circularity and finding new opportunities for collaboration across their industries.

The determination and optimism from both speakers and guests was infectious.

Stay tuned for more insights from the event, and sign up to our newsletter for info on future events.

Letterpress Workers Summit 2025 on 35mm. 
I got invited to join a group of letterpress printers from around the world, in Milan, for five days of printing, exchanging ideas, and sharing good times — buon tempo in every sense.
Thankful for the experience, and for the new friends.
