Glass Sellers Charity Fund
The Glass Sellers’ Charity is delighted to continue its association with the ASE, helping to develop the understanding and usage of the world’s most amazing and diverse product – glass. Our London Livery Company received its Royal Charter in 1664 from Charles II and has promoted and maintained standards within our trade since then. The Charity reaches out to schools across all education sectors to inspire young people to consider a career in the many industries where the material is used.

Speaker
Tracy Sherwood-Farnfield RSciTech
The School of Science and Technology (prep room)
Lead Science Technician
I am a Lead technician, with about 17 years experience, currently at a growing comprehensive school in Kent. I started my tech life as a biology technician and althoug I now cover all subjects, biology remains my first love. I am passionate about passing on skills to the next generation of technicians and love leading CPD sessions on all things, but especially biology & chemistry, health & safety, and general organisational skills. In my spare time I enjoy sewing, crochet and knitting socks, when i am not head-down in a good fantasy novel! I love spiders, plants (including carniverous ones) and cuddly toys, and will always have a mascot with me, do come and say hi!
Come along and have a go and making some simple glass items to gain confidence when heating and bending glass. You can keep everything you make, options will include delivery tubes, stirring rods, glass spreaders and U bend tubes amongst others. If you have a glass cutter in your department – bring it with you!
