Abstract 2 Abstract This thesis is an investigation into the development of glass as an expressive medium in China through direct contact with Western methods of making, decoration and forming glass. The investigation proceeds through an analysis of the parallels between glass objects produced from Kangxi (1662-1722) to Qianlong period (1736-96), and contemporary practitioners’ (2000-2009), which is complemented by my own practice. The investigation mainly looks at three aspects and their inter-relationship within these strands. They are: 1) the history of glassmaking from 1696 to 1795 in the Qing dynasty with Western influences; 2) the analysis of Contemporary Chinese studio/academic glass within the imported UK model; 3) the development of my personal glass practice within this matrix.

    Stained Glass Windows Stained Glass and Banners • Stained glass windows and banners bring colour to a church. They also remind people of stories in the Bible or of important truths. • Before TVs or LCD projectors, stained glass windows could be used as visual aids.

About stained glass • Stained glass is simply coloured glass but the term stained glass is normally used in referring to pictorial windwos such as are to be found in some churches. The colours are produced by adding a metallic oxide to the glass. • The means of colouring glass was understood in the early years of the Common Era. The earliest stained glass in Europe has been found at Jarrow at the monastery where Bede lived, prayed, taught and wrote.

  • The Stained Glass Windows of Christ's Church Cathedral

    The Stained Glass Windows of Christ's Church Cathedral

    The Stained Glass Windows of Christ’s Church Cathedral Anglican Diocese of Niagara Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Edited By Alexander L. Darling From notes by John Rathbone (former Canon Pastor and Diocesan Archivist), extensive notes by Katharine Greenfield (Cathedral Archivist), and additional material from the archives and visits elsewhere. Photographs © Alexander L. Darling Introduction For many years Katharine Greenfield has served as Cathedral Archivist and she has accumulat- ed extensive information about the operation of the Cathedral throughout its history. The start of the 175th anniversary year and external enquiries resulted in this attempt to gather together the information we have about the stained glass of the Cathedral. As I came to do this, I found two people were invaluable. John Rathbone, former Canon Pastor of the Cathedral and Dioce- san Archivist, had made notes about the windows in the 1970s when he was Canon Pastor. Katharine Greenfield, the Cathedral Archivist, had gathered much more information and this went far beyond narrow descriptions of the windows and dates of installation. The information included summaries about the people named and their families, correspondence and newspaper clippings. Most of what follows is, therefore, Katharine’s work and she should receive due recognition for it. In compiling this document I drew a little on observations I made while tak- ing photographs at the Cathedral and other churches in the Diocese, and a visit to Robert McCausland Limited, a leading designer and manufacturer of stained glass. In addition, I learned more information as a result of a visit by Charlie Hill of the National Gallery and Tobi Bruce of the Hamilton Art Gallery; in particular they found a number of inscriptions and signa- tures, and provided suggestions on follow-up.

    PRECISION AIR ENTRAPMENT THROUGH APPLIED DIGITAL AND KILN TECHNOLOGIES: A NEW TECHNIQUE IN GLASS ART JOANNE MITCHELL A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2015 Precision Air Entrapment through Applied Digital and Kiln Technologies: A New Technique in Glass Art Joanne Mitchell PhD 2015 1 Precision Air Entrapment through Applied Digital and Kiln Technologies: A New Technique in Glass Art Joanne Mitchell 2015 Abstract The motivation for the research was to expand on the creative possibilities of air bubbles in glass, through the application of digital and kiln technologies to formulate and control complex air entrapment, for new configurations in glass art. In comparison to glassblowing, air entrapment in kiln forming glass practice is under-developed and undocumented. This investigation has devised new, replicable techniques to position and manipulate air in kiln-formed glass, termed collectively as Kiln-controlled Precision Air Entrapment. As a result of the inquiry, complex assemblages of text and figurative imagery have been produced that allow the articulation of expressive ideas using air voids, which were not previously possible. The research establishes several new innovations for air-entrapment in glass, as well as forming a technical hypotheses and a practice-based methodology. The research focuses primarily on float glass and the application of CNC abrasive waterjet cutting technology; incorporating computer aided design and fabrication alongside more conventional glass-forming methods. The 3-axis CNC abrasive waterjet cutting process offers accuracy of cut and complexity of form and scale, across a flat plane of sheet glass.
