Celebrated glass engraving artist Philip Lawson Johnston’s craft has taken years of practice and patience to reach heights of glory. In an exclusive interview, he shares about his journey to success.
IT’S NO COINCIDENCE THAT IN THE 1ST CENTURY AD, the advent of distillation science – the crux of whisky making – happened at the same time that glass-blowing techniques were created. Creating alcohol packaging using glass vessels was soon a booming commerce, and by the 7th century, storing and serving alcohol in delicately engraved glass became a popular practice throughout Europe and the Middle East.
Today, displaying and serving whisky in engraved decanters and glassware vividly enhances the appreciation of the spirit, whether one is savouring a favourite Scotch or toasting significant moments. It’s also a beautiful expression of sentiment and remembrance etched in posterity – literally, figuratively and artistically.
