Heres a pic of the 3 pieces we finished for the focus at Contemporary Applied Arts. Black, White and Clear Aesculus. I am pleased with the way, the pieces are moving, its good to be making new work again and developing ideas, forms and surfaces. Always good to see pieces well displayed, lit and in another context away from the studio to make sure they really work individually and together . I am really happy with these three and looking forward to making new pieces.

Pleased to say two Aesculus have been selected to show, one shown below.

The show opens 22nd July 28th September 2008. This is the third Biennale and if you like glass… its a good event. A snap shot of what is happening on these shores at this moment in time and a catalogue to keep. There’s a link in associates to the Biennale site.

Making 3 new pieces for this focus. Really pleased to see the first white piece seen here in progress, and made a clear glass Aesculus for the first time too. It really lets the light dance . The exhibition opens in London on 24th April through 31st May and runs at the same time as the Glass House Exhibition.

Just found this image of one of our pieces on Dan Klein & Alan Pooles site. It features on the front cover of a catalogue for an exhition in 2005. Dan & Alan also have other interesting, specialist catalogues and books. Follow the link on Associates !
