Join BSMGP for discussion day on connection and collaboration

Both members and non-members of the British Society of Master Glass Painters’ (BSMGP) are invited to the organisation’s annual Discussion Day. The event takes place in London on 13 September 2024 and is titled, ‘Stained Glass – Connection and Collaboration’.

Organised by the new Artists Working Group, the BSMGP say the meeting is intended to empower artistic expression and foster future collaborations by inspiring practitioners to creatively connect and strengthen their professional relationships. There will be two artist’s talks, a panel discussion, a ‘show and tell’ session and time for networking.

Guest speakers Amber Hiscott and Bethany Wood will present in the morning. They will discuss collaborative projects they have undertaken and how the connection aided in their success.

Amber Hiscott works internationally as an innovative architectural glass artist from her studio in Wales. Her large-scale commissions are in many public settings. Bethany Wood is the founder of Blowfish Glass Gallery in Stourbridge, West Midlands. She produces her own range of glassware, as well as running workshops to share her passion for glass blowing. The morning will finish with a panel discussion and Q&As.

The afternoon will provide a ‘show and tell’ opportunity for participants to share a project or piece of work. It will include an informal and friendly networking session.

The day will be held near London Bridge at the Glaziers Hall of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass, 9 Montague Close, London SE1 9DD. It runs from 10.30am-4.30pm. Tea and coffee are provided, but not lunch.

Tickets are £37.40 for members and £44 for non-members.
