I'm sculpting life sized faces and heads out of plasticine and wanted to use glass eyes. Where would I find a shop in London that sells prosthetiscs and glass eye balls used for art?

Modern glass eyes arent actually orbs,they`re a plastic disk with a peice of carved coral as the iris
I know that doesnt help much

Have you tried getting in touch with Madame Tussuards? Or any other wax work place that might be close to you. A lady I went 2 uni with ended up getting Michael Owen's pretend eyeballs from them for her art work!

why don't you look in the yellow pages?
or phone an eye surgeon/ eye hospitals (you can get those phone numbers from the yellow pages as well), they should be able to tell you.
Or the guy in the last link. Though real glass eyes will be more expensive, and as barely anybody is making them they are probably hard to get. But as they are less likely to cause allergic reaction in the person wearing them they probably should go to people who need them...

Hey Genna,
The second site has a bunch that are more serious than the first site, then the 3rd is just plain real.
