Glass painting - UK glass supplier wanted

[Cathy Higgins]

I am looking for a reliable mail order/internet supplier of "glass blanks"
for glass painting, in the UK. I am having trouble finding unusual items to
paint on!

I have tried Jane Dunsterville, but she only seems to sell roundels for
suncatchers. I'm looking for glasses, vases, bottles, and would really like
to find clocks, perfume bottles, etc. They have to be reasonably priced as
I am hoping to sell them once painted, so I also need a supplier who will be
able to supply several of the same item (I'm being optimistic that I'm going
to sell lots!).

Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Best wishes,
Cathy.

Cathy, you might try Fred Aldous in Manchester.

They not supply a variety of flat shapes ready-drilled, but also different
shaped small bottles.

I think they have a website but can't find the address right now. Their
catalogue is very well illustrated for all kinds of stuff and well worth the
quid or two they charge to send it.

and most of all, they are reliable!

Hope this might be useful to you.
