Du Maurier has often been painted as a frostily private recluse who rarely mixed in society or gave interviews. [9] An exception to this came after the release of the film A Bridge Too Far, in which her late husband was portrayed in a less-than-flattering light. Incensed, she wrote to the national newspapers, decrying what she considered unforgivable treatment. [10] Once out of the public spotlight, however, many remembered her as a warm and immensely funny person who was a welcoming hostess to guests at Menabilly, [11] the house that she had leased for many years, from the Rashleigh family in Cornwall. After du Maurier's death in 1989, some writers speculated about her alleged relationships with a number of women, [8] including the actress Gertrude Lawrence and Ellen Doubleday, the wife of her U.S. publisher Nelson Doubleday. [9] [a] Du Maurier stated in her memoirs that her father had wanted a son; [8] being a tomboy, she wished to have been born a boy.Two spaced bumps on the shoulder on each mold half are a very common orientation for venting marks on

Although the Society is primarily for scientific glassblowers, we encourage anyone with an interest in glassworking to join – glass as a material holds an interest for many, and glassworkers provide a huge range of products, from glass beads and jewellery, to paperweights, decorative and practical vessels of every shape, size and colour, and sculpture intended for purely aesthetic effect. Were it not for these artists and craftsmen throughout history, scientific glassblowing would not exist as a craft. The Society holds a quite sizeable library, to which members have free access.
