Maria (Paloma and Freddie's sister) has a place to study a Master's in Glass at the National Glass Centre at Sunderland University, which is one of the best places to study glass-making in Europe.

Anyone who knows Maria will join her in triumph at securing this prestigious place. Maria has spent her entire working career making and teaching new and adventurous things in glass. However, this is a full-time course; Maria won't be able to cover the tuition from earnings. We want to raise enough to send Maria to this well-earned university course.

One of the people who donate will be selected at random to be gifted a piece of glass art this Christmas.
