Shift provided the opportunity to see stunning works of glass and take part in an informative and interesting seminar where major international glass artists Stephen Beardsley, Max Jacquard, Matt Durran, Angela Thwaites and Richard Wheater discussed how their own work stretchs the medium of glass. Their combined wealth of wit, knowledge and experience, promises was an event not to be missed.
Peter Layton of London Glass Blowing Workshop's Glass Art Gallery hosted the exhibtion at his gallery. Peter Layton: 'I first came across Just Glass in 2003 when they organised the ’Trail of Glass’ exhibition over six venues throughout Kew, Richmond and Twickenham. Their own glass was on show at The Coach House Gallery, Kew and I was very impressed with the work. I am glad to see that they have gone from strength to strength since then. Their commitment and dedication is inspiring, as was the wide variety of techniques and designs on show.' |
