During the past locked-in year, I have worked on three pieces that make up ‘The Missing Year – A Diary’. They were my way of trying to make sense of what was happening in these unprecedented times. Previously, I have designed and produced items for major galleries from the Royal Academy of Arts to the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust at Port Lockroy supplying bespoke gifts for exhibition ranges. Although these are multiples each piece is handmade ensuring a unique product for the buyer.

New Artists and reviews
Janine Altman was born in Uruguay. Studied painting, jewellery, engraving and fused glass as a child. She studied Systems Engineering at Engineering University in Montevideo, Uruguay. Then she felt the need to go back to the art world, which is why in 2002 created her atelier to start an artistic journey of experimentation and discovery within this fantastic world of glass. She has been selected to participate in several international and national congresses, biennials, fairs and exhibitions. Her artworks can be found in museum collections like the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia (USA); MAVA, Alcorcón Glass Art Museum (Spain); Museo Municipal de Cartago, Costa Rica, and as part of public and private collections in several countries. Director of the ACCS Visual Arts Gallery in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Bespoke commissions and personalised classes
I am 3rd year student in my final year studying for my Ba in Glass. I have been recently experimenting with Pate de Verre techniques. My 2nd year work involved a series of work related to discarded items such as sticks and apples. In 2014 I entered the warm glass uk competition.
Hooked by hot glassblowing, creating sculptural pieces, bowls and jars. Such a challenging skill to master gravity, heat and motion. Remaining undefeated after crashing disappointment on the floor.
