Ashes into Glass was founded in 2006 but it’s history dates back to 1979. James Watts and Bill Rhodes met at school in Southgate, North London at the age of 12. Little did they know it would be the start of a long friendship and they’d one day start their own business.
The boys did everything together from skating in the local parks to travelling on holidays together. In 1999, Bill married Jane and shortly after, James married Josephine. Today, each couple has three children who are also good friends.
Throughout this time, Bill and James have shared a love of craftsmanship and the pride that comes from making things with their hands.
