The aim of all the Glaziers’ Company’s awards is to raise standards of work within the craft, particularly in the U.K., by offering additional learning experiences to enhance the skills of potential workers. Applications are invited from individuals within the first five years of completing their training who are intending to undertake a long term career in stained glass, preferably within the U.K.The ‘Award For Excellence’ & The ‘Ashton Hill Award’. These awards offer valuable opportunities for those wishing to develop their skills towards a practical career in stained glass. Recipients will be placed in high quality working studios where they will undertake mentored work experience on actual projects with the supervision, guidance and tuition of experienced professionals. The 10 week Ashton Hill Awards are offered to those wishing to develop their skills in conservation and/or glass painting. The 40 weeks Award For Excellence is an enhanced work experience program which provides individual tuition tailored to the needs and interests of the award winner.

These practical essentials are illuminated by the work of contemporary glass artists, who are using these technologies to remarkable effect. RRP £24.00.

Shortlisted curators will visit the galleries from across the globe that are exhibiting at the fair and select one object they would like to see join their museum’s collection. The curators will then present their selection to the Art Fund Collect judging panel on the day of Co[]ect, who will then decide which objects have been best presented by their curatorial advocate, and will have the greatest impact on their respective museum collections. Curators will be invited to a preview event on the evening of Thursday 9th. May and the Art Fund Co[]ect event itself will take place on Friday 10th. May. Winners will be announced on the same day. Co[]ect celebrates its tenth year in 2013. It will take place at London’s Saatchi Gallery and is open to the public 10th.–13th. May 2013.

The winning institutions were: Edinburgh, National Museums Scotland; Manchester, Whitworth Art Gallery; Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery; Museums Sheffield & Touchstones Rochdale. Stephen Deuchar, Art Fund Director, said: “We need to encourage our museums and galleries to invest in contemporary craft and design. Our Art Fund Co[]ect scheme - a long-running collaboration with the Crafts Council, has helped considerably by giving almost £350,000.00 to 27 museums since 2008 and we are delighted to be building on this legacy once more in 2013.” Rosy Greenlees, Executive Director of the Crafts Council, said: “Art Fund Collect has been an invaluable scheme in enriching many public craft collections across the UK. These objects have had a significant impact on their respective collections and the scheme has paved the way for more ambitious acquisition of contemporary craft.”

Space, Place, Site, Location. Glass Enamelling. Course leader Penny Somerville. By inhabiting a place, we imbue it with our own special quality of 'being'. Colour, light, atmosphere, temperature, sounds all contribute to building an image of 'place', our 'place'.We will use our time in the Forest to find some understanding of our relationship to this particular place ....making drawings, developing ideas through collage. The aim of the weekend will be to make some kind of 'talisman' of this time in this place using glass. The ideas generated will be developed into glass pieces using enamels and other surface treatments. Students will be encouraged to be experimental. The process is always more important than the end product! We will begin on the previous evening with a joint meal and a talk by the course tutor. The Forest of Dean is situated between the Severn and the Wye, the triangle of land between Gloucester, Ross on Wye and Chepstow. It is an area of mystery and natural beauty where among the trees, there are standing stones, roaming sheep, wild boar, deer and a sculpture trail.

This year we had 9 students who made several pieces each, including mirrors, leaded windows for their homes, etched pieces, foiled panels of their own design, garden panels and even some Christmas decorations.

09/04/13 13/04/13. Engraving With Dominic Fondé . ‘Micrographia – I Spy With My Little Eye’. Tuesday 9th. April to Saturday 13th. April 5 Days in total 9-5 pm, materials provided. Workshops cost AU$660 (GST inc). Please note if you are attending the conference (three-day pass) and participating in a workshop you are entitled to a AU$145 discount. As a child most of us will have played the game “I spy with my little eye…” The rules are very simple, one person decides on an object and says, for example, “I spy with my little eye something beginning with…T” the others playing the game will start to guess, “Table…telephone…” until the correct item is discovered. The version of this game to be played as part of Micrographia takes this premise to a whole new level and uses the microscope to do the “spying”. In the 16th. century Galileo used a primitive compound microscope for research and referred to it as his “little eye”. It is from this fact that our project takes its name but a much more significant microscope was the one used by Robert Hooke and Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek in the 17th. Century. Robert Hooke is often referred to as the Father of Microscopy and this project intends to demonstrate why his work was so radical. Participants will attempt to create a 17th. century microscope of the same design as the Van Leeuwenhoek microscope. They will then use it to draw an image of an item found within the vicinity of the workshop. (It may be advisable to have a selection of objects on hand to keep the event on schedule). Back in the 17th. Century a scientist or researcher did not have access to a camera to record his or her findings so a drawing or an engraving was made to record the image. The resulting drawings will be displayed at the end of the day and participants will be asked to identify the object drawn. A prize will be given to the best judged drawing. The microscope itself is very simple and consists of nothing more than spherical round lens. This lens is created using a hot flame and rod of clear glass. As Dominic is a trained glassmaker he can demonstrate the making of the lens and the teams will each attempt to make a lens of their own. The resulting lens, while crude and tiny has a massive historical significance and is in essence the same tool used by Robert Hooke and Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. It should be noted that the lenses can be tricky to use for the uninitiated so a number of conventional magnifying glasses will be provided should anyone be feeling frustrated. The lens is made by heating a rod of glass in the flame of a bead torch. Participants over the age of 14 will be allowed to make their own lens with assistance from
Dominic. Participants younger than 14 will be supplied with a lens pre-made by Dominic. Aims - The aims of these workshops are:To examine the material properties of glassTo discuss some historical and artistic applications of glassTo understand the importance glass plays in our modern worldTo show aspects of the working life of a professional artist.Booking and paying for this post conference workshop can be done when you register for the conference. Book early as this workshop will fill very quickly (6 slots available). If you have any questions please contact Linda Elliott at Email: [email protected]

18/05/13: Scottish Glass Society - Trip To Kelvingrove Art Gallery And Glass Collection. We will meet in the morning at 10:30, on Saturday the 18th. of May, at Kelvingrove Art Gallery. We will be met by Alison Brown the Curator of European Decorative Arts Dept. She will show us some of the key items in the collection on display and further examples of glass in a few other galleries in the museum. After a quick lunch we will visit the glass collections (Scottish and European) in the stores of Glasgow museums centre at Nitshill. Finishing the day around 16:00. It's unusual to be able to go and look at all of this, especially the stores which are not usually opened to the public. And to be given a tour of it by someone so knowledgeable should be a real treat. The cost of all of this is only £5.00, which doesn't include your lunch I'm afraid, but I hope you'll agree it is money well spent. We are just looking for numbers at the moment and will firm up details and travel arrangements in the following months. Please get in touch with me if you would be interested in attending. It will be a great opportunity to meet other glass enthusiasts and see some beautiful art work, so I very much hope to hear from you.
