Parndon Mill Gallery Glasshaus XVIII exhibition

Jane Vincent previews a new exhibition featuring resident glassmakers and Just Glass members in Essex.

As we begin another year it is such a joy to be part of our community of glass artists, interlinked by so many organisations, sharing knowledge and enthusiasm for this wonderful medium. Sometime the serendipity of connections result in opportunities and the invitation to Just Glass artists to exhibit their work in Glasshaus XVIII at the Parndon Mill Gallery is just such an occasion.  This renowned exhibition, in its 18th, year is part of the glass maker’s annual calendar and starts the year on a high for the 40 glass artists taking part.

Many of you will have visited Parndon Mill for its exhibitions, classes or to commission work by its resident artists. The longevity of the Glasshaus series of exhibitions is testament to the history of Parndon Mill and its founder Sally Anderson, who, with Roger Lee, set up the Gallery.

The Just Glass artists are proud to take part in this year’s Glasshaus XVIII alongside the Parndon Mill resident glass artists. The exhibition includes work not only in kiln formed glass, but also other techniques of blown, sand cast and leaded stained glass.
