An artist, dubbed “Pic-glasso”, in Stourbridge, West Midlands, England has been removing empty milk bottles from doorsteps and then returning them having etched elaborate pictures on them. The artist first struck a few weeks ago. Bosses at Dairy Crest, which supplies the Stourbridge and Wolverhampton area, said they were as keen as locals to find the person responsible. A spokesman said: “This seems to be a nice idea.” via Nick Britten @ telegraph.co.uk
Stourbridge glass is recognised as amongst the finest in the world. However, the glass industry in the area has been all but destroyed by the effects of globalisation, with the factories moving abroad where cheaper workers are available. ☞
