Exhibition
Surface Pattern
A celebration of surface Pattern in Glass. Surface Pattern is a collection of 27 glass artists whose work reflects surface pattern in glass, by the use of colours, intricate kiln techniques, sandblasting decoration and cutting. The exhibition will highllight a variety of work that reflects the diverse techniques of our members. This exhibition was launched in February 2010.
How it Is is Part of Victoria Scholes' widely exhibited Domestic Gospels Series. She takes everyday objects and applies an imaginative twist to explore the tension between the things that define and shape us, and the need to escape those things.
I will be exhibiting a selection of my artworks at a few locations for 'Warwickshire Open Studios'
