Hi everyone, Im looking for the name of a stallholder that was at the winterval festival. I had a look at the brochure online but cant find a list of retailers.The company sold really unusual pieces of glass and they were situated at the back of the theatre royal, near the big snow globe! I think they were made by a woman but Im not 100%. I was hoping to get something different for someone as a wedding present and not the usual pieces of glass hoping someone remembers!!

Have you tried contacting Winterval?

Are you sure it was a stall and not the Irish Handmade Glass Company shop and factory behind the theatre royal / beside Christchurch cathedral

Was it the little hut with the cloudy glass? I think it was made by a lady alright but cant remember any more. I think the guy was handing out cards with each purchase.

Winterval has a facebook page, maybe you could post there.

@ jambo, it was definitely a hut, the pieces were displayed outside but it couldve been part of another business- I never looked inside and I stupidly didnt take a business card. @wmpdd3- that was exactly it- cloudy glass! Im going to contact winterval today as suggested by someone on another post, I just assumed as it was a seasonal thing I couldnt contact them til nearer the winter :rolleyes: thanks

Are you talking about the first or second hut after the giant snow globe on the left? They had some fantastic one-off pieces.

If you do get those details, will you share them here or via pm please?

Someone in my family was looking at the pieces before christmas but their present was sorted then. This thread is just in time for their birthday though.

Thanks very much!

Where these melted class pieces or crystal type pieces.

Thanks all, just got the website from a very helpful winterval organiser who went out of her way to find it for me! As it turns out they mainly stock ceramics- I remember more glass being displayed (or maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me in the night lights!) Apparently the city council had a lot of stallholders that were rotated so the events organisers dont have everyone that was there on the list.
The website is amandamurphyceramics.com for anyone interested- @mecco hope its the one u were looking for too :-)

That seems to be the one, thanks again.
