Okra Glass was founded in 1979 by Richard Golding and Nicola Osbourne. During 2007, Nicola Osborne, one of the founding partners, decided to leave the business to follow her dreams in a new career and for a greater part of 2007, Richard was working single-handedly in the studio. Not only was this lonely, it was also very difficult. Glassmaking has always been a team activity and faced with the immense amount of behind the scenes work involved in running the business, as well as making the glass, Richard was faced with a hard decision of what the future held for Okra.
2008 proved to be a very busy year at Okra Glass Studios, with some new and very exciting changes, namely the joining of new partners Karinna Sellars and Dean Hopkins. Karinna and Dean, close friends and fellow glass makers, had been lending a hand in the studio whenever possible, but at the time were running their own glass business. After much sole searching and with Nicola's blessing, Richard invited Dean and Karinna to join him as partners, ensuring a strong and successful future for Okra Glass.
