I made (well, decorated!) some tumbler glasses! As part of “Moquette for London” at the London Transport Museum, I attended a workshop by The Make Lounge and designed my own glasses inspired by tube seat fabric patterns.
Start with one tumbler, cleaned with window cleaner…
… a moquette design for inspiration (I chose the simplest one!)…
and these rather clever pens, which will mark glass and become permanent once baked in an oven, and you’re off!
What I really loved about this event was just how many people had turned up to paint glasses inspired by tube seats… there really are a lot of geeky design people out there and one of the wonderful things about the London Design Festival is how it brings us all together.

I love your blog. I stumbled across it because I’ve just started a blog and it looks like we both went to the Moquette for London event. Your glass painting turned out a lot better than mine!
