Glass factories were located at Seaham and Sunderland on the North East coast of the UK during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Producing millions of bottles and glassware, waste glass was dumped directly into the sea and has been washed up ever since. It is widely collected today by locals and visitors alike, searching for tiny fragments that are now worn and shaped by the sea. The compulsion to collect things is a very human trait and sometimes has no conscious reason other than a fascination with colour, texture and form. Transformed by the sea from its original state and devoid of practical purpose, sea glass is returned to us as something to treasure.
