Elmfield Collection Scope University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: Special Collection Title: Elmfield Collection Scope: Printed books and pamphlets on the history of glass and glass-making, and on the decorative aspects of glass Dates: 1662-2001 Extent: 632 vols. Name of creators: The Joint Library of Glass Technology, Sheffield, Professor William Ernest Stephen Turner, The Society of Glass Technology and the University of Sheffield Library Administrative / biographical history: The collection consists of two formerly separate collections on the history of glass and glass- making: The Turner Bequest Volumes from the personal library of W.E.S. Turner, Professor of Glass Technology at Sheffield University 1920-1946, bequeathed to the Joint Library of Glass Technology and bearing the legend ‘Turner Bequest 1964’ on their bookplates. Joint Library of Glass Technology Rare Book Collection A collection of books formerly in the Joint Library of Glass Technology, including volumes donated by the Society of Glass Technology, moved to the Main Library for safe-keeping when that collection, formerly at Elmfield, was transferred to St. George’s Library in 1992. Volumes deal with the technical, the historical and the artistic aspects of glass-making and glassware. The historical interest of the collection is perhaps exemplified by its five versions of Antonio Neri's early work on 'L'arte vetraria' ('The art of glass'): Italian (Venice, 1668), Latin (Amsterdam, 1668), English (London, 1662), French (Paris, 1752), and a modern edition of Christopher Merrett's English translation, edited by Professor Michael Cable and published by the Society of Glass Technology (Sheffield, 2001). The Joint Library of Glass Technology (latterly the Joint Library of Ceramics, Polymers and Glass Technology) was administered and supported jointly by the University Library, who provided some staffing, and the Department, but was financed to a large degree by the Society of Glass Technology. Professor William Ernest Stephen Turner (1881-1963) began his career at the University of Sheffield in 1904 as a Junior Demonstrator in the Department of Chemistry, from which position he was later appointed Lecturer. During WWI he served as Secretary to the Sheffield Committee on Munitions of War, and, following up work which he then did on technical problems relating to war supplies presented by the glass manufacturers of South Yorkshire, commenced a study of the industry. His report of 1915 resulted in the creation of a new Department of Glass Manufacture (soon renamed the Department of Glass Technology), of which Turner was initially Lecturer-in- charge and from 1920 Professor, and he subsequently set up the Society of Glass Technology. Turner thus found himself closely involved in the speciality with which he is particularly associated, and he remained the new Department's Head for 30 years, in which work he maintained a close association with the glass industry. In 1936 the Department relocated to the Elmfield site, where new laboratories were built. Turner retired as Professor in late 1945, but continued to be active in the glass industry.

  • The World of SCHOTT 3
    The World of SCHOTT 3 SCHOTT is a leading international technology group in the areas of specialty glass and glass-ceramics. With more than 130 years of outstanding development, materials and technology expertise we offer a broad portfolio of high-quality products and intelligent solutions that contribute to our customers’ success. Our true passion for glass is sparked by imagination and fueled by expertise. Whatever you envision, we will find a way to realize it. We reinvent glass in all its numerous properties. We can bend it, roll it up and off, combine it with metal, light it up, make it round, turn it into glass powder or make it ultra-thin. SCHOTT creates solutions that bring unique products and novel applications to life – “glass made of ideas”. The memorial next to the Atocha station in Madrid, Spain: An elliptical cylinder that is made solely of highly transparent and temperature- resistant borosilicate glass blocks from SCHOTT conveys the idea of preserving an intangible moment and creates a translucent space for reflection. 4 5 The SCHOTT Group A team of experts providing innovations you can rely on. The chemistry was right in every sense when glass chemist Otto Schott teamed up with physicist Ernst Abbe and mechanic Carl Zeiss. In 1884, Otto Schott was the first to develop and apply scientifically-based methods to glass making, a revolutionary concept that enabled him to develop completely new optical and technical glasses. He achieved matchless quality levels in glass manufacturing and enhanced the design of new glasses, such as the now well- known borosilicate glass, for groundbreaking solutions.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lisa A. Batitto, Public Relations Manager, Newark Museum Phone: 973-596-6638, e-mail: [email protected] Newark Museum Exhibition Celebrates Sparkling Gift of Steuben Glass Unexpected Color: A Journey Through Glass Opens May 1, 2019 Newark, NJ – A sparkling, colorful gift of Steuben glass from The Thomas N. Armstrong III Collection will be on display in an upcoming exhibition at the Newark Museum. Unexpected Color: A Journey Through Glass, opening on May 1, 2019, showcases more than 130 works in glass designed by Frederick Carder for the famed Steuben Glass Works from 1903 to 1933 and used in a variety of settings by the collector. The exhibition presents a jewel box of shimmering glass, organized by Carder’s colors that he created and patented. Carder was fascinated with ancient glass colors and forms, and he worked to recreate the iridescent colors of excavated ancient Greek and Roman glass. He also designed new shapes inspired by Chinese and Venetian glass as well as shapes influenced by Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, modern at the time. Carder kept detailed notebooks of his color formulas and glass types, revealing the glassblowing chemistry and techniques used to create the variety of functional and decorative glassware in the exhibition, including vases, bowls, candlesticks and stemware. The exhibition will include interactive tablets to connect Carder’s formulas and shapes with the colors and forms on display. Audio recordings of Carder interviews will also heighten the story of the experimentation behind the creation of this colorful glass. “Carder’s work for Steuben is particularly appropriate for Newark’s collection,” said Amy Simon Hopwood, the Museum’s Associate Curator of Decorative Arts.
