CONFERENCES, MEETINGS, SYMPOSIUMS, TALKS & TRIPS.

15/06/15: Association For The History Of Glass (A.H.G.) Spring Study Day: Glass For Eating, Drinking And Making Merry. 15th. June 2015 10:00-17:00. At The Wallace Collection. London W1U 3BN. This study day on the use of table glass of all periods is being planned in conjunction with the Glass Association (G.A.) and the Glass Circle (G.C.). Glass has always been made because people wanted to buy and use it. Without customers who wanted to use glass, there would have been no glass industries. Yet much more work has been done on production than use. Why did people choose glass instead of ceramics or pewter? Was the table glass used in homes, inns and taverns the same, or different? What difference was there between city and country; upstairs and downstairs? Such questions are often asked, but less frequently answered so it is hoped to use this opportunity to study how, why, where and when table glass was used in different eras. The cost of the day will be £12.00 (€15.00) for students, £24.00 (€30.00) for members of the A.H.G., G.A., G.C. or Friends of the Wallace Collection and £34.00 (€45.00) for non- members. Lunch is not provided, but is available locally. If you would like to contribute a paper, please contact the A.H.G. secretary, Denise Allen on Emails: [email protected] or [email protected] . The programme has yet to be finalised, please see the Website: www.historyofglass.co.uk for the latest information or ask the secretary to send you details when they are available.

*19/06/15: British Society Of Master Glass Painters Summer Lecture: 'Exploring Arts & Crafts Stained Glass: A 40-Year Adventure In Light And Colour' - Peter Cormack. Friday 19th. June 18:15 for a prompt 18:45 start. Venue - The Art Workers Guild, 6 Queen Square, London. WC1N 3AT. Admission to the lecture and optional buffet supper by ticket only. Visit Website: www.bsmgp.org.uk for details, to download a booking form or to book on-line. In the summer of 2015 Peter Cormack’s book ‘Arts & Crafts Stained Glass’ (Yale University Press) – the first comprehensive account of stained glass produced by members of the Arts & Crafts Movement in Britain, Ireland and USA from the 1880s to the 1950s – will be published. In this lecture, the author will discuss and illustrate some aspects of his forty years’ research in the field. In the 1970s, stained glass was scarcely recognised as a major field of Arts & Crafts activity, so he set about the task of re-establishing its importance and researching the lives and work of its most important exponents. Working as a curator at the William Morris Gallery in London, Cormack organised the first ever exhibitions devoted to Christopher Whall (1849-1924), Henry Holiday (1839-1927), Paul Woodroffe (1875-1954) and Karl Parsons (1884-1934), as well as a pioneering exhibition of work by Women Stained Glass Artists. These and their accompanying catalogues, along with lectures and B.S.M.G.P. conference tours, gradually brought about a new appreciation of the rich and diverse heritage of Arts & Crafts stained glass. The lecture will provide a broad survey of the topics examined in detail in the new book, beginning with the Arts & Crafts reaction to late-Victorian developments in the aesthetics and practice of stained glass, in particular the debased historicism and commercial methods of the large firms. Among the pioneers of this critical view were Henry Holiday, Selwyn Image and H.A. Kennedy. Their example and polemical writings inspired Christopher Whall, who soon became the pre-eminent representative of a distinctively Arts & Crafts approach to the medium. By the 1890s, a new school of stained glass artist- makers, led by Whall and including Mary Lowndes, Louis Davis and Reginald Hallward, had emerged to challenge the supremacy of the big manufacturers. Artistic regeneration went hand in hand with technical innovations, especially the making of new types of glass (notably the types of ‘slab’ and other textured glass produced from the 1880s onwards), which had a formative impact on design and workmanship. Other major themes are the careers of women in stained glass, for this was the one area within the Arts & Crafts Movement where women and men truly worked alongside each other and achieved real parity of status and achievement – an important advance made possible by reforms in the art education system. The teaching of Christopher Whall, Henry Payne and others are part of this story, showing how generations of young students absorbed the idealistic Arts & Crafts philosophy promulgated in Whall’s 1905 book ‘Stained Glass Work’. That philosophy fundamentally changed the course of stained glass history not only in Britain and Ireland but also in the USA. The generation of women and men trained by Whall and his followers became the leading designers of the first half of the twentieth century and many were among the founding members and Fellows of the British Society Of Master Glass Painters. During his forty years of work on the subject, Cormack was fortunate to meet and interview some of the last representatives of the Arts & Crafts tradition, whose insights and recollections have informed his research. This lecture will explore how stained glass offers a new way of looking at the Arts & Crafts Movement, for this medium relies – arguably more than any other – on a complete and successful fusion of its aesthetic and technical aspects. Peter Cormack M.B.E., FSA, is a Vice-President and Honorary Fellow of the B.S.M.G.P.

North Lands Creative Glass Master Classes & Skill Classes 2015: July Master Classes: 15/07/1523/07/15: Stained Glass: The Final Frontier Master Class with Judith Schaechter. 15 - 23 July. Fee: £900.00 (includes evening meals). In this course, participants will work with layered flash glass to create one or two panels of stained glass. Various methods of creating imagery on glass, such as painting, sandblasting, engraving and diamond filing will be demonstrated and exploration of alternative options is encouraged. Participants will assemble one or two small panels. This class will also delve into the elusive creative process in the form of discussion. Glass Unknown: Experimentation and Discoveries in the Hot Shop Master Class with Maria Bang Espersen and Max Syron. 18 - 23 July. Fee: £655.00. (includes evening meals). For this 6 day class we will put aside all presumptions we might have about the material glass and approach it in ways one would not have thought possible. We will build up a new understanding of glass by investigating its material possibilities through playful experiments. The process of discovery and learning from the glass itself will be the focal point, rather than an emphasis on final objects. Working in and out of the hot shop, we will let go of traditional glass-making concepts, creating and following new paths of inquiry. We will explore ephemeral, time-based, and performative aspects of glass as well as concepts such as control, value, and experience. This class is open to anyone with a curiosity for the unknown and the willingness to break some glass. This is an experimental class and we will not be teaching any technical skills. You will however, learn how to gather and handle a small amount of hot glass. For larger amounts, some assistance is available. All levels are welcome but a little experience in hot glass techniques can be beneficial. August Master Classes: 26/08/1503/09/15: Towards Purpose – kiln-formed glass, cold glass and other stuff… This class explores the territory between design and making, purpose and process master Class with Angela Thwaites. 26 August – 3 September. £900.00 (includes evening meals). We will be taking a focussed and purposeful approach using design and making processes to create 3D glass outcomes. As well as material knowledge and skills with glass there will be an emphasis on design development. The area surrounding North Lands is an important source of departure points for idea generation so we will be going out from the workshops on research journeys. The class will be led by Angela, supported by a cold working expert, and a designer interested in exploring glass. We will discuss and guide the purpose and development of your projects and you will develop skills and confidence working with specialist glass processes. There will be visits, demonstrations, presentations and group discussions to facilitate your individual ideas and practical exploration. During the 9 days, there will be an opportunity to experience hot glass through a mutual student swap with the concurrently running hot glass master class led by James Maskrey. There will also be one day midway through when you will be able to make arrangements for further exploring the locality. You will carry out a range of considered experiments in material and bring one idea to a clear conclusion. We will be working on a modest scale to enable this conclusion to be at a high level of resolution and finish. You will be expected to give a 5 minute visual presentation to introduce yourself to the group within the first couple of days and to show the journey of your project at the end of the class. Classes run from 09:00 – 17:30 and participants can work in the studios up until 22:00. 26/08/1503/09/15: Narrating Process Master Class with James Maskrey. 26 August – 3 September. £900.00 (includes evening meals). The main aim of this workshop is to cultivate skills and develop narrative for participants’ work. Using our technical abilities, sourced objects, images, or text we will search for meanings in our pieces. These could be imagined, they could be factual, but at the heart of the process will be making and story-telling. We will concentrate on material, process and idea. Using and developing traditional glass-blowing skills, compiled materials and our combined imaginations we will celebrate these artefacts to spin tales of personal experience, historical fact or elaborate hoax. We will aim to push ourselves through enriching our glass techniques and developing original ideas to produce pieces of work embracing both skill and narrative. During the 9 days, there will be an opportunity to experience expert guidance for cold working glass through a mutual student swap with the concurrently running master class led by Angela Thwaites. There will also be one day midway through when you will be able to make arrangements for further exploring the locality. About James Maskrey: James Maskrey has a career in hot glass spanning over 20 years. He has a Classes run from 09:00 – 17:30 and participants can work in the studios up until 22:00.

International Summer Art Academy Bild-Werk Frauenau. Ceramics and Glass : ‘Mixed Double’. The Summer School Bild-Werk Frauenau has a history of experimenting with crossover courses believing that the future is increasingly multi-disciplinary. This year is no exception with a new interdisciplinary course model on offer where clay and glass are combined. Where clay is used as part of the process towards a glass piece, or where clay and glass are united in a single artwork. The possibilities exist for border crossing! Since the beginning of the Studio Glass Movement these two materials, glass and clay, have been close friends. And reviewing today’s glass art scene we can still see that there is a strong connection between ceramic and glass. Artists who, to a greater or lesser extent, use or combine these two materials include Roni Horn, Tony Cragg, Kiki Smith, Damien Hirst, Gerhard Richter, Ai Weiwei, and Ann Wolff and Olafur Eliasson. So many artists are using glass and ceramics in art and design. This year the exhibition worldwide include at Bornholm “Biennials for Contemporary European Glass and Ceramics”, The “3rd Clay and Glass Biennale” Brae Art Gallery, California, and “Clay Glass and Enamel” at Richmond Art Centre California amongst others. Specifically the two step brothers glass and ceramic are offered in Bild-Werk Frauenau in one very special course. No knowledge of either material is required and we offer full technical assistance to realise your creative ideas. Information about all the course offered by Bild-Werk Frauenau and the interdisciplinary special course “Two Stepbrothers Reunited” lead by artist Boris Shpeizman in the August academy (August 12 - 28) can be found on the Website: www.bild-werk-frauenau.de/en/courses/catalog.php Information, Program and Enrolments, Website: www.bild-werk-frauenau.de Bild-Werk Frauenau.

*08/08/1514/08/15: An Exploration In Colour And Light With Glass As Our Medium With Catrin Davies & Mollie Meager. There are 2 places left on the summer course. It’s a week long course set in wonderful countryside. There are places to stay from cottages to share with other students to camping to B&B in the local pub.Please let us know as soon as possible if you would like to come. Send your reply to both of us as Catrin is off to Bavaria to help teach a glass course in Frauenau next week. Hope you can come with best wishes Mollie. We will take you on an experimental journey, discovering new ways of looking at the landscape with light as our medium. This course will be based in Catrin’s studio and stained glass workshop at the former village primary school in Rhandirmwyn, surrounded by the wonderful natural beauty of the upper Tywi valley in rural Carmarthenshire. The week long course is intended for all abilities, developing a personal colour sense while building confidence and experience of various techniques both on paper and in glass. Your work will be informed by other 20th. Century artists and by the rich landscape around you.
