ARTIST'S STATEMENT
The textures provided by nature and human invention are always present in my work: the contrasts between matt and gloss, smooth and rough, light and dark, hard and soft. I also enjoy experimenting with the technical aspects of kiln-formed glass. CONTACT suherbertglass@gmail.com |
ARTIST'S BACKGROUND
I have a background in book publishing, creative embroidery and jewellery. I first studied kiln-formed glass at Missenden Abbey before enrolling at Richmond School of Art, where I have been lucky enough to study under a number of internationally renowned glass artists, and gained several certificated qualifications.
I am a founder member of The Just Glass Society and exhibit with the group. I was elected as Chair of Just Glass in 2006, resigning that position in 2015 although I remain on the Committee to edit the quarterly Newsletter and to organise the Just Glass Biennial Seminar, now a regular event in the national studio glass calendar. I am also a member of the Contemporary Glass Society and have participated in its 'On-line' exhibitions.
Recently I have been looking at gravity slumping using a variety of different types of glass: float, Bullseye and Gaffer; making a range of jewellery recycling offcuts from previous projects and lost wax casting.
