Justin Buckingham – Director of Glasshammmer Visual Effects
After successfully completing my course at Falmouth school of art in 1985, I ventured to London to begin working for one of the cities most creative model making companies. I gained invaluable knowledge from my apprenticeship and later became a partner in the company. In 1993 I formed Glasshammer where I have since enjoyed being a leading part of a very talented and passionately artistic team working together for the same goals.
