Andrea Walsh Britain B. 1974 “Contained Boxes’ are my most recent series of work. In each piece the vessel is kiln cast in glass, forming an individual vitrine, which cradles a small ceramic box within. Intimate in scale, the work embraces tactile investigation due to it’s form, size and proportion and evokes a response akin to jewellery, eliciting the desire to hold and to cherish. Each single work in this series results in an entirely unique study of interior and exterior, their direct relationship, and captures a subtle, timeless presence. The opacity of the container can conceal, or if translucent can veil, the contained box held within, which is revealed only when the viewer is drawn closely to look inside from above. Therefore the display of these pieces is integral to the work, where differences and relationships between the pieces can be experienced, and yet where they are also afforded the space to breathe.” Pair of Contained Boxes [Clear Frit and Gold and Yellow Frit and White], 2016 Lost Wax Cast Glass, Fine Bone China, 22ct Burnished Gold 7.5 H x 10.75 W x 8 D cm Andrea Walsh Britain b. 1974 ‘My work is an exploration of the box and vessel form, through which I am interested in ideas of containment, materiality, preciousness and value. Working with glass in combination with fine bone china, I seek to celebrate their shared material qualities including purity and translucency and am influenced by their alchemic nature and rich historical associations.’ Andrea Walsh established her studio in 2005 Following the completion of a degree in Fine art, and postgraduate study in glass at Edinburgh College of Art. She has since received invaluable support From the CraFts Council (UK) and Creative Scotland, enabling the continued creative development of her practice that pushes the boundaries of her chosen materials – ceramics and glass. A signiFicant contribution to her practice has been the award oF residencies, the most notable being the ‘Artist Into Industry Residency’ through the British Ceramics Biennial – a project with the ‘Minton’ brand based at the Wedgwood ceramics factory in Stoke-on-Trent (UK), which Facilitated learning directly From master craftsmen, and allowed privileged access to historical archives. This opportunity continues to influence her practice to the present day. Andrea has established a growing exhibition profile in the UK and internationally. Her work has been shortlisted For the British Ceramics Biennial Award on three occasions, purchased For major public collections including the V&A Museum in London and National Museums Scotland. In 2017 she was a Finalist in the BBC Radio 4/V&A Museum/CraFts Council ‘Woman’s Hour Craft Prize’ Andrea Walsh lives and works in Edinburgh, UK.

  • Download Craft Scotland Celebrates... Wood PDF 6 Feb 2019
    MEDIA RELEASE: Craft Scotland and VAS showcase material mastery in wood by Scotland based makers Three of Scotland's most exciting artists present their work in the third Craft Scotland celebrates... exhibition as part of ALIGHT at Royal Scottish Academy In the third of a planned series celebrating craft mediums Craft Scotland is delighted once again to be partnering with Visual Arts Scotland (VAS) to celebrate contemporary woodworking through a presentation of multidisciplinary works from gifted Scotland based makers. This year Craft Scotland has chosen to explore wood through the diverse work of three makers: Charlotte Barker, Beth Legg and Naomi Mcintosh. Their work is presented alongside hirta, a modular structure that acts as a focus for discussion around materiality, design and making. Challenging the common perceptions of wood, this year the Craft Scotland celebrates... wood showcase highlights the versatility of wood as a craft material, and the diversity of applications it can be adapted to. Selected by the VAS committee and representatives of Craft Scotland, the three invited artists will form the starting point for a wider celebration of the diverse discipline of contemporary woodworking throughout the ALIGHT exhibition. A sense of movement is offered by Charlotte Barker, the wood’s natural texture contrasting with the controlled markings of her ceramic vessels. Beth Legg’s objects and jewellery are rooted in the poetic nature of metal, wood and stone and her fascination with hinterlands while Naomi Mcintosh’s designs explore volume, pattern and movement. Speaking ahead of the exhibition opening Craft Scotland Director Irene Kernan said: “Our media-specific showcases were born out of Craft Scotland and Visual Arts Scotland's mutual ambition to exhibit high-quality craft, alongside works of fine art, in a venue fitting of its stature.

  • ANNUAL REVIEW April 2016 - March 2017
    ANNUAL REVIEW April 2016 - March 2017 SUPPORTING MAKERS PROMOTING CRAFT 1 was delighted to become Chair of Craft Scotland last year, and I am grateful for the excellent work done by my predecessor Jacquie Edwards. In 2016/17 we delivered a series of successful exhibitions and events, gathered feedback from the sector, and assessed new opportunities and funding sources to create a dynamic strategic plan for the next three years. Driving this long term strategy is our mission to make Scotland a place where craft is valued as culturally significant, essential to our economy and meaningful to our communities. I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their invaluable insights and support, and particularly our Director Fiona Logue and her talented team. Their hard work, creativity and commitment has delivered so much in a busy year, and their imagination and ambition is shaping a progressive and exciting future. - Catherine Holden · Chair he talent, vitality and spirit of the Scottish craft sector never Tceases to amaze me. A priority for us during 2016, the Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design, was to focus on opening up the audience for craft. We did this through highlighting the innovation and design in makers’ practices. Our events have placed quality Scottish craft in front of enthusiastic retail consumers, trade buyers, design specialists and audiences who are new to craft. To celebrate our makers and advance Scottish craft, we enhanced last year’s programme with the addition of two high-profile exhibitions at London Design Fair and the American Craft Council’s prestigious Baltimore show.

  • Craft Scotland Showcases World Class Glass Made in Scotland
    MEDIA RELEASE: Craft Scotland showcases world class glass made in Scotland Three of Scotland's most exciting glass artists present their work as part of OPEN at Royal Scottish Academy In the second of a planned series celebrating craft mediums Craft Scotland is delighted once again to be partnering with Visual Arts Scotland to celebrate contemporary glass through a presentation of multidisciplinary works from gifted Scottish makers. This year they have chosen to present the work of three artists working in contemporary glass in very different ways: Alan Horsely, Carrie Fertig and Jeff Zimmer. Challenging the common perceptions of glass, the showcase highlights the diversity of glass techniques and styles in a dramatic presentation. Selected by the VAS committee and a representative of Craft Scotland, the three invited glass artists will form the starting point for a wider celebration of the diverse discipline of glass throughout the open exhibition. Alan Horsey's sculptural works in part take the form of fragmented artefacts, while Jeff Zimmer's haunting pieces using photography and mirroring explore ambiguity, morality and mortality in contemporary society and politics. Carrie Fertig's interdisciplinary practice includes The Great and The Good, both object and film and her spinning mirrored lamb shows a distorted view of the observer and their environment. Speaking ahead of the exhibition opening Craft Scotland Director Fiona Logue said: 'Our media-specific showcases were born out of Craft Scotland and Visual Arts Scotland's mutual ambition to exhibit high-quality craft alongside works of fine art in a venue fitting of its stature. I hope this celebration of contemporary glass, showing the myriad of ways glass can be used in a creative context, will captivate and grow appreciation of the beauty of the medium.'
