Moonlight Swim
Photographer: Gail Turbutt
Details: 40cm x 13cm x 1cm in 5cm deep acrylic base
Kiln cast glass exploring movement in nature. I like to explore those fleeting moments we gather with our eyes but can never capture with a camera, and reinvent them in the fabulously mercurial medium of glass. Using the interaction of light through the piece to animate the sculpture into life.

Rockpool Sculptural Bowl
Photographer: Tas Kyprianou
Details: Kiln-formed glass with glass enamels: fused, slumped and cold-processed. Diameter approx 50cm. Made in October 2015.
This piece was the result of a progressive series of developments I have made over the past couple of years, creating new marine-inspired forms through fusing and slumping techniques. I use float glass, to which I apply glass enamel powders (sometimes mixed with oil or water) to create the colours and textures.
The work is comprised of a number of components; each of the components have been made by fusing and sometimes slumping layers of glass together to create the individual forms.
The little shells are created by slumping the layers of coloured glass into miniature moulds which I have made by hand; the shell forms then have their edges machine polished on diamond discs for a beautiful clear finish. THe main bowl is also made in this way.
The anemones are created by cutting and arranging strips of glass (coloured and fused together) over a handmade mould.

What Price Joy?
UK Artist
hort description of piece: I am interested in exploring how artefacts can trigger an emotional response in the viewer. The pastiche takes inspiration from a classic childhood toy to explore memory, loss and how the past can be regained and reclaimed, if only briefly. I use glass to create imagery and form using mainly kiln casting and cold working techniques. My work in glass comes from a profound and deep love of material; its strength and fragility, its ability to gather light and to encapsulate and distort imagery. I am keen to explore using glass in less usual ways, for example by combining with other materials and by exploring properties that are less expected from glass such as movement.

BaVoir
Photographer: François Golfier
float glass, copper wire’s inclusion, thermoforming and silvering / 2014
description of the piece :
"A force-feeding notion.
Looking at our society, driven by overconsumption of goods, fashions, images, but also of people and moments – a larger number of person posting their comings and goings on the internet, twitting, liking or blogging...(etc) almost anything – I imagined a bib for grown people.
Because, in fact, how much of these informations are really absorbed?
What about personal investment of the individual in our society?
BaVoir wears a schematic drawing of a rib cage reminding us of an antique centurion armour, or shield.
BaVoir is silvered in order to reflect the image of the other one, narcissistic and voyeur.
Would it be an object of anticipation for political excesses, a ceremonial bling-bling item of the political figure, an anticorruption or rather anti(self)destruction object?
BaVoir aims to remain ambiguous."

Execution, 1920
Photographer: Philip Lauterbach
Details: Cast Bullseye Glass Rolling Pin 25cm*4.5cm; Cast Bullseye Glass Lino Cut 17cm*12.5cm
As a craft practitioner, I engage glass carving and printmaking methodologies to explore concepts of how memory is constructed. This body of work commenced with the recounted story, of a deceased family member whom constructed an untrue memory that he believed for latter part of his life. He believed that he was responsible for the execution of four Irish Volunteers in November 1920. In fact, further research asserts he was not even in the country at the time of the event.
In response to my findings I have selected an everyday object, the rolling pin, referencing the domestic dwelling from which the Volunteers were captured. I converted the rolling pin into a printing device by carving the surfaces of each one with drawings exploring the event. The rolling pin allows for the image created to be repeated through the printing process however each image will vary according to the pressure applied by the user and begins to degrade as the ink dissipates. In the same way as the user can vary the same image of a print; so too can the memories of an individual or a collective be varied through time.
The accompanying tile is cast from cut linoleum. Thus the collection of objects function as printing devices or are made by traditional printing materials.

Making Connections VI
Making Connections VI is one of a series of kiln cast glass and mixed media sculptures that investigates material structures and the junctions between glass and other materials.
This work originates as a solid block of cork, which is broken in two. One half of the cork is invested in refractory mould mix, burnt out and cast. After polishing, the glass and cork seamlessly slot back together.
Joshua’s choice of form, materials and colour are inspired by a variety of sources including; architecture, contemporary design and post-industrial landscapes.

Connections
Photographer: Thomas Dischinger
Details: ca 100cmx3x15, rope
For human beings connections and networking deals are essential in a positive as well as a negative sense. Growing up the bond to the mother is the strongest connection. During your life there is a constant change in relationships to partners, family, friends, in business to bosses, colleagues or business partners.
Connections and networking might be different in private and business life: emotional and intense, neutral and reserved or repaired with a “rope”. Besides the official hierarchy in an organization individual personal connections help a lot to be successful in our modern world and business.

Layered enamelled glass embellished with colourful cut out glass
Photographer: Natasha McHugh
Details: Size: 200 x 200 mm, cut out glass ranging from 3mm to 16mm
After re-interpretation, botanical imagery that I have gathered becomes more simplified for screen printing. Using a range of various strength enamels (both Degussa and Reuche), I add layers upon layers of enamels. After this I scratch back into the surface to create intricate details that are similar to those of plants. Once the firing was complete – colours have merged and created painterly effects that are totally unique to that piece of glass. In this picture, I have two layers of glass with different imagery to provide contrast. The enamels creates texture which I want people to be able to feel – also I cut out lots of little discs of colour on waste glass to create a texture and another layer.

Attacus Atlas
Photographer: Ester Segarra
Details: Fused wings, pate de verre cast body, sterling silver legs and antennae
Life size. H. 8cm W. 26cm D. 26cm
The largest species of moth in the world, found in the tropical and sub tropical forests of Southeast Asia; named after either the Titan of Greek mythology, or their map like wings. The Cantonese name translates to ‘Snakes head moth’ due to the wing tips mimicking a snake’s head to prevent bird predation.
The species lacks mouth parts, therefore cannot eat, relying on fat reserves built up during caterpillar stage. The adult moth lives only to reproduce and survives for just a couple or three weeks.

Ombré Ombre
Photographer: Susan Sinclair
Details: trio of "sugar cast" pâte de verre vessels; each 14cm x 9.5cm
Variations on “ombré” shading, keeping some granularity, but that would work together as a combined piece. “Ombre” was one of the earliest card games known in Europe. Played by three players, any one of whom could declare they were “the man” (“l’hombre”). The pieces are intended to be seen together, as three similar vessels with slightly different shading so no two are alike, nor is any one ‘trump’.

'Three Blind Mice'
Photographer: Morag Reekie
Details: April 2016. 21H,34W,15Dcm.
My work is generally inspired by the strong feelings and frustrations I have about the society we live in, feelings which are seemingly intensified by having children. We live in a world that to me seems to be changing quickly and for the worse around us with societies designed to benefit the few at the cost of the many, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. It angers me how people are so easily led, so easily pleased and therefore open to being blinded by what they hear in the media and what they are fed by corrupt politicians. I want my mice to be able to stand strong, determined and proud even though they are fragile and vulnerable. In the past I have tried to give my work a humorous edge; however this piece is a little more serious!

Rockpool Sculptural Bowl
Photographer: Tas Kyprianou
Details: Kiln-formed glass with glass enamels: fused, slumped and cold-processed. Diameter approx 50cm. Made in October 2015.
This piece was the result of a progressive series of developments I have made over the past couple of years, creating new marine-inspired forms through fusing and slumping techniques. I use float glass, to which I apply glass enamel powders (sometimes mixed with oil or water) to create the colours and textures.
The work is comprised of a number of components; each of the components have been made by fusing and sometimes slumping layers of glass together to create the individual forms.
The little shells are created by slumping the layers of coloured glass into miniature moulds which I have made by hand; the shell forms then have their edges machine polished on diamond discs for a beautiful clear finish. THe main bowl is also made in this way.
The anemones are created by cutting and arranging strips of glass (coloured and fused together) over a handmade mould.

What Price Joy?
UK Artist
hort description of piece: I am interested in exploring how artefacts can trigger an emotional response in the viewer. The pastiche takes inspiration from a classic childhood toy to explore memory, loss and how the past can be regained and reclaimed, if only briefly. I use glass to create imagery and form using mainly kiln casting and cold working techniques. My work in glass comes from a profound and deep love of material; its strength and fragility, its ability to gather light and to encapsulate and distort imagery. I am keen to explore using glass in less usual ways, for example by combining with other materials and by exploring properties that are less expected from glass such as movement.

float glass, copper wire’s inclusion, thermoforming and silvering / 2014
description of the piece :
"A force-feeding notion.
Looking at our society, driven by overconsumption of goods, fashions, images, but also of people and moments – a larger number of person posting their comings and goings on the internet, twitting, liking or blogging...(etc) almost anything – I imagined a bib for grown people.
Because, in fact, how much of these informations are really absorbed?
What about personal investment of the individual in our society?
BaVoir wears a schematic drawing of a rib cage reminding us of an antique centurion armour, or shield.
BaVoir is silvered in order to reflect the image of the other one, narcissistic and voyeur.
Would it be an object of anticipation for political excesses, a ceremonial bling-bling item of the political figure, an anticorruption or rather anti(self)destruction object?
BaVoir aims to remain ambiguous."

Execution, 1920
Photographer: Philip Lauterbach
Details: Cast Bullseye Glass Rolling Pin 25cm*4.5cm; Cast Bullseye Glass Lino Cut 17cm*12.5cm
As a craft practitioner, I engage glass carving and printmaking methodologies to explore concepts of how memory is constructed. This body of work commenced with the recounted story, of a deceased family member whom constructed an untrue memory that he believed for latter part of his life. He believed that he was responsible for the execution of four Irish Volunteers in November 1920. In fact, further research asserts he was not even in the country at the time of the event.
In response to my findings I have selected an everyday object, the rolling pin, referencing the domestic dwelling from which the Volunteers were captured. I converted the rolling pin into a printing device by carving the surfaces of each one with drawings exploring the event. The rolling pin allows for the image created to be repeated through the printing process however each image will vary according to the pressure applied by the user and begins to degrade as the ink dissipates. In the same way as the user can vary the same image of a print; so too can the memories of an individual or a collective be varied through time.
The accompanying tile is cast from cut linoleum. Thus the collection of objects function as printing devices or are made by traditional printing materials.

It is presented in a picture frame with internal lighting so the work out shines at night using my Smart Light Frame (SLF).

Making Connections VI
Making Connections VI is one of a series of kiln cast glass and mixed media sculptures that investigates material structures and the junctions between glass and other materials.
This work originates as a solid block of cork, which is broken in two. One half of the cork is invested in refractory mould mix, burnt out and cast. After polishing, the glass and cork seamlessly slot back together.
Joshua’s choice of form, materials and colour are inspired by a variety of sources including; architecture, contemporary design and post-industrial landscapes.
Date of manufacture: May 2016

Connections
Photographer: Thomas Dischinger
Details: ca 100cmx3x15, rope
For human beings connections and networking deals are essential in a positive as well as a negative sense. Growing up the bond to the mother is the strongest connection. During your life there is a constant change in relationships to partners, family, friends, in business to bosses, colleagues or business partners.
Connections and networking might be different in private and business life: emotional and intense, neutral and reserved or repaired with a “rope”. Besides the official hierarchy in an organization individual personal connections help a lot to be successful in our modern world and business.

Layered enamelled glass embellished with colourful cut out glass
Photographer: Natasha McHugh
Details: Size: 200 x 200 mm, cut out glass ranging from 3mm to 16mm
After re-interpretation, botanical imagery that I have gathered becomes more simplified for screen printing. Using a range of various strength enamels (both Degussa and Reuche), I add layers upon layers of enamels. After this I scratch back into the surface to create intricate details that are similar to those of plants. Once the firing was complete – colours have merged and created painterly effects that are totally unique to that piece of glass. In this picture, I have two layers of glass with different imagery to provide contrast. The enamels creates texture which I want people to be able to feel – also I cut out lots of little discs of colour on waste glass to create a texture and another layer.

Attacus Atlas
Photographer: Ester Segarra
Details: Fused wings, pate de verre cast body, sterling silver legs and antennae
Life size. H. 8cm W. 26cm D. 26cm
The largest species of moth in the world, found in the tropical and sub tropical forests of Southeast Asia; named after either the Titan of Greek mythology, or their map like wings. The Cantonese name translates to ‘Snakes head moth’ due to the wing tips mimicking a snake’s head to prevent bird predation.
The species lacks mouth parts, therefore cannot eat, relying on fat reserves built up during caterpillar stage. The adult moth lives only to reproduce and survives for just a couple or three weeks.

Ombré Ombre
Photographer: Susan Sinclair
Details: trio of "sugar cast" pâte de verre vessels; each 14cm x 9.5cm
Variations on “ombré” shading, keeping some granularity, but that would work together as a combined piece. “Ombre” was one of the earliest card games known in Europe. Played by three players, any one of whom could declare they were “the man” (“l’hombre”). The pieces are intended to be seen together, as three similar vessels with slightly different shading so no two are alike, nor is any one ‘trump’.

'Three Blind Mice'
Photographer: Morag Reekie
Details: April 2016. 21H,34W,15Dcm.
My work is generally inspired by the strong feelings and frustrations I have about the society we live in, feelings which are seemingly intensified by having children. We live in a world that to me seems to be changing quickly and for the worse around us with societies designed to benefit the few at the cost of the many, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. It angers me how people are so easily led, so easily pleased and therefore open to being blinded by what they hear in the media and what they are fed by corrupt politicians. I want my mice to be able to stand strong, determined and proud even though they are fragile and vulnerable. In the past I have tried to give my work a humorous edge; however this piece is a little more serious!
