Dartington in ‘Made in Britain’ TV series

Devon based crystal and glass maker Dartington was one of the stars of the ITV 4 documentary series ‘Made in Britain.’ The programme has featured many great British manufacturing businesses and their products.

The 30 minute programme aired in December, showed how the classic Dimple Double Old Fashioned tumbler is mouth-blown and hand crafted from molten crystal. The filming included the design ethos of head designer Hillary Green and commentary from commercial director Richard Halliday.

Following the programme, Richard said: ” Our hand-made glass making is very visual and makes great watching. We were delighted to be invited to take part in this production and it showed our brand and the skilled making team in a very positive way.”
