Glass artist Anne Petters is running a course called ‘Glass Sculpture: an Introduction to Pâte-de-Verre’, suitable for all abilities, in London from 3-7 July 2023.
The French term ‘pâte de verre’ translates as ‘glass paste’. Glass powders and frits (crushed glass) are mixed with a medium to a paste that can then be applied to flat and hollow moulds and fused in the kiln, at about 700°C, to take the shape.
Anne Petters’ course will explore the pâte de verre process and participants will be able to make their own small, unique objects using this ancient glassmaking technique. Using a variety of mould-making materials, drawings, writing and texture can be transferred onto the glass. Flat and hollow plaster/Molochite moulds will be created, onto which glass frits and powders will be fused.
Further manipulation of the shape can be achieved by slumping and forming methods.
Participants will finish the course with a selection of beautiful and unique sculptural glass artworks to take home.
The 5-day course for adults is part of the Summer School programme at the City & Guilds of London Art School, at 124 Kennington Park Road, London SE11 4DJ, from 3-7 July 2023 from 10am to 5pm.
Make a note to visit the upcoming Contemporary Glass Society (CGS) exhibition on the theme of ‘Sumptuous Summer’, being held at Buckenham Galleries in Southwold, Suffolk during June and July 2023. Around 30 artists have been selected for the show at this leading contemporary art space.
This exhibition celebrates the warmth and sensuous pleasure of a Sumptuous Summer. The artists have had the opportunity to explore anything that relates to that glorious season, which extends from the June solstice through to the September equinox.
There will be a wide range of contemporary glass art on display, with a mix of wall pieces and plinth-based work. The pieces will be for sale and there is a range of prices, making contemporary glass attainable by all.
Many different techniques and styles have been chosen, demonstrating the versatility of this fascinating material. The selection was made by the gallery owners and the internationally renowned glass artist, David Reekie, whose studio is located not far away in Norfolk.
The selected artists are Alison Allum, Andreya Bennett, Beverley Bunn, Teresa Chlapowski, Jeanette Cook, Julie Anne Denton, Magda Gay, Hannah Gibson, Helen Hancock, Catherine Hough, Ingrid Hunter, Susan Kinley, Jane Littlefield, Marian Monas, Jackie Monk, Emmy Palmer, Susan Purser Hope, Lesley Pyke, Ana Laura Quintana, Morag Reekie, Annie Ross, Annica Sandström with David Kaplan, Katrina Shearlaw, Cathryn Shilling, Phillipa Silcock, Kathryn Sumroy, Nancy Sutcliffe, Frans Wesselman and Maria Zulueta.

The Guild of Glass Engravers has announced the winners of the Making Your Mark exhibition of student work. The prestigious David Peace Prize of £500 goes to Moonju Suh, with two Emerging Artist prizes of £200 awarded to Miriam Witthaut and Rimona-Ruth Kogan.
Speaking about her winning piece ‘Happiness Diary (6)’, Moonju Suh said, “I believe people often hide their true emotions and personalities. There are many reasons for people hiding their true feelings. But, I argue, one of the most plausible reasons could be that none of us willingly expose their weakness or vulnerabilities. For example, in my case, I hide my anger when I feel angry or upset because of the societal fear of being judged by others as a social pariah behaviour. The glass dolls in my artwork ‘Happiness Dairy’ visualise my angers that are caused by different situations.”
The images on each head and body of the doll are hand cut onto vinyl, sandblasted and then cameo engraved. Each piece is 16cm tall.
German-based Mirium Witthaut’s piece is called ‘Five to Twelve’ and represents global warming. Mirium states, “You see the lonely polar bear on an ice floe that has broken out and below him the raging sea. We must not ignore the signs and have to act as fast as possible!”

Rimona-Ruth Kogan’s ‘Mount Nysa II’ is a cubism-inspired interpretation of her first competition piece ‘Mount Nysa’. It depicts the Greek myth of Dionysus, showing him hiding away inside Mount Nysa, his relationship with death, rebirth and his father Zeus, she explains.

Georgia Redpath describes her journey with intricate mould-making techniques to create an endless variety of geometric forms in glass
I am, by background, a relief caster; my casting process sprang from collagraph printmaking techniques. As a first-year art student, back in 2003, I was taught about mould making at a point when I was spending most of my time in the print workshop. By chance, around the same time, I read a 1970s book on etching, which suggested taking plaster or latex casts from collagraph plates. It was only a couple of brief paragraphs, but these were the kindling for my future practice.
I started making collaged plates, which were far too deep to be allowed anywhere near a printing press. Instead, I cast them in rubber (Gelflex), and then took investment moulds from the rubber, which were used for casting glass.
These initial relief casts were predominantly representational, although their focus was often the repeating pattern and texture of the urban landscape. Over time, this gradually shifted towards pure pattern, with simple, repetitive geometry finally taking over entirely. It was this shift that steered me towards a modular approach to making – after all, pattern is centred on repetition, and many geometric shapes will tessellate to cover surfaces. By making collage models of the repeating elements, rather than the whole pattern, I could reuse and reconfigure them to make several moulds – each related but entirely different.

While I was very taken with the efficiency of this slight change in my process, I was also excited that it introduced a stage of play and discovery – remixing the modular units to create something new was very much like playing with a box of LEGO bricks.

Over the next couple of years, I developed from making modular cardboard models, to making modular silicone moulds. This was partly motivated by the cost of silicone as, by making modular moulds, I knew I’d get far more use from each mould and so better value for money! However, the silicone modules also took me from relief panels into something much more like three dimensions; they were much higher in relief than anything I’d made before. In addition, they could be attached (via a bolt) to underlying wooden or cardboard forms, meaning I was no longer confined to a flat surface.

While the underlying surfaces could have their own form and dimensions, they had to conform to the geometric base shapes of my modules – triangles, squares and pentagons. This meant that the options were relatively limited. I’d had an initial taste of three dimensions, but I wanted more!
For this reason, when I started my PhD at the University of Wolverhampton, one of my main objectives was to develop a family of 3D modules, which could be joined together to create sculpture, and explore pattern, in the round. Alongside this creative aspect, I still had a hankering to increase efficiency in my casting process. I wanted to discover whether the modular aspect of making could be pushed further into the casting process; were modular investment moulds possible?
From experience, I knew that regular, geometric shapes worked well for modular systems; matching edge lengths had allowed both my cardboard and silicone modules to work together in myriad different combinations. Therefore, I decided to focus on the equivalent 3D forms when choosing my basic module, so looked at the Platonic solids. Of the five, the icosahedron (which has 20 triangular faces) seemed most attractive. It was symmetrical, related to both pentagons and hexagons, and the 20 faces offered many options for joining modules together.
Almost as soon as I’d made this choice, we went into the first COVID-19 lockdown. Although initially frustrating, this turned out to be a bonus for me. I’d realised that cardboard would no longer be the perfect modelling material for 3D. I needed something with greater accuracy and stability and 3D printing seemed the obvious choice. Lockdown gifted me the time to get to grips with the necessary software without the distractions of normal life. More than this, I was able to benefit from a sudden explosion in free online courses.
A series of modular aggregations created in Wasp. Photo by the artist.
Most exciting was finding Wasp, a plug-in for my CAD software developed by Andrea Rossi, an architectural PhD student in Germany. This allowed me to take my module (eg my icosahedron) and create rules for the number of modules being joined, and how. Wasp then automatically carried out these instructions at the click of a button. The complexity and variety of forms that populated my laptop screen provided the impetus needed to begin work on a modular investment system.
Starting with a simple, two-part mould for creating a single icosahedron, I designed a series of variations on that mould. Each member of this extended family would be useless as a mould itself, as extra faces were cut away, meaning the glass would leak out. However, by joining these moulds together, I’d be able to create strings, branches and networks of icosahedra.

Once the form of the modular investment moulds was fixed, I needed to make silicone moulds of the forms. This would allow me to make multiple copies of each mould part in investment. This was certainly a challenge in my little flat but, by the time we were allowed back in the workshops at Wolverhampton, I had my first multi-part modular investment mould ready for testing. There were five joined icosahedra in the final form, so the mould had 10 parts, which had been joined together with plaster bandage and an additional layer of investment. I was overjoyed when the mould survived the firing intact, and I divested to find my first icosahedral form. Modular moulds worked!
However, after another two test firings, my excitement gradually waned. Despite having different configurations, the first three sculptures looked very similar. To achieve the complex forms I’d created in Wasp during lockdown, I’d need to be joining hundreds of mould parts. In addition, while working with investment mould parts might be efficient, it was enormously frustrating. I was working purely in the negative, unable to see the final positive form as I was building the mould. Constant referral to my computer models was necessary, to work out which mould part to add next.
The sense of fun I’d found playing with my cardboard and silicone modules to create new forms and patterns had vanished; the efficiency had drained all joy from the process.
Luckily, silicone moulds aren’t single purpose. Just because they’d been designed to create investment mould parts, didn’t mean they couldn’t be used to cast other materials. I started using them to make wax parts instead, turning the negative forms into positive modular parts. I also made some pure plaster versions of the initial two-part module, which I used to slipcast wax icosahedra.

As someone who had managed to avoid working with wax for most of my casting career, this was an awkward shift. However, the play element returned. I was ‘sketching’ designs with the wax pieces, finding forms which pleased or amused me. Although it was not as quick and simple as LEGO bricks, the wax parts could be joined, and taken apart again, relatively easily. Compositions were then fixed by soldering the parts together with a little hot wax tool.

This body of lost wax casts formed the core of the practical work for my PhD and was shown in my recent solo exhibition at Stourbridge Glass Museum. For me, the more important realisation was that this only scratches the surface of what is possible with the kit of parts I’ve developed. The initial shift from making parts in investment to making parts in wax made me reconsider all the unseen artefacts of the casting process – the 3D printed models, silicone moulds and plaster moulds which created my modular waxes. All these ‘tools’ offer multiple possibilities. For example, a mould originally used for casting a base also worked in the hot shop as part of a blow mould. Each shift in use offers new pathways to explore, while retaining the connection to the original icosahedron.

So, although I didn’t achieve the efficiency I originally hoped for, the very nature of the casting process, combined with my modular obsession, means that I have a 3D world of possibility to explore for years to come.

Three glass artists are among the 30 finalists for the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2023.
UK-based Keeryong Choi’s cast glass boxes ‘Daam Dah 2022’ (main image) comprise glass and 23.5 carat gold. As a South Korean artist based in Scotland, Keeryong’s work is informed by his investigations into the similarities and cultural differences that people experience in relation to the objects around us and in contrast to where they live.
These opaque glass vessels compound expectations by combining both Korean and British sensibilities, resulting in a work that feels familiar yet refuses to be placed. He created the work to speak to his experience of moving from Korea to the UK, his nostalgia for home and to challenge the notion of cultural authenticity. The vessels were created using 3D modelling software and 3D printing. By using small, frit-size glass and skipping bubble soaking during the firing process, small cavities were deliberately created on the surface. These are often regarded as an imperfection in glass making. The cavities were then inlaid with gold leaf, contrasting with the vessels’ glossy surface, to evoke a celestial starry sky and to celebrate the imperfections and beauty of these unique objects.
Lene Bødker’s ‘Worthy; Walking Stone; Slice of Something Bigger’
Danish artist Lene Bødker’s entry is ‘Worthy; Walking Stone; Slice of Something Bigger’.
These glass sculptures express a close relationship with nature and reference the interconnectivity between evolution and natural features of the landscape. The works have been created using a lost wax technique and cast with a carefully planned and controlled use of colour to create differing levels of opacity throughout. This manipulation of light is further explored by creating contrasting matt and smooth areas across the surface of the works, by using several different hand finishing techniques, including grinding, chiselling and polishing, to create a tactile, nodular, texture that demonstrates the artistic possibilities of glass.
Maki Imoto’s ‘Torus of Powdered’
Maki Imoto from Japan created ‘Torus of Powdered’ from powdered glass and a piece of transparent glass.
This large, yet fragile, work explores the limits of glass. Created using a torus-shaped plaster mould filled with powdered glass and then fired in the kiln, the resulting work is thin and hollow with areas of cracking, shrinking and dripping on its surface. These material transformations are a visual trace of heat as it emerges and transforms the glass, a process that must be carefully controlled to prevent the brittle structure from breaking.
All the finalists’ work will be exhibited in New York, with the winning entry receiving a 50,000 euro prize. The winner will be announced in spring 2023.

The Stained Glass Association of America (SGAA) is celebrating its 120th anniversary in 2023. Its annual conference this year is entitled ‘Forging New Paths’ and takes place from 27 September to 1 October in Buffalo, New York.
The SGAA will be joining forces with the Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA) for the second time, bringing together artists and studios to exchange ideas and take part in educational and creative sessions. Alongside the conference there will be an exhibition, trade stalls, plus opportunities to take part in workshops and tours.
In addition, throughout the meeting, a collaborative mosaic artwork will be created around the clock in a Mosaic Marathon. This will be led by an artist and a local non-profit organisation, The Care Management Coalition, which will have the mosaic permanently installed at its premises in Buffalo.
SGAA executive director MeganMcElfresh commented, “We are thrilled to be celebrating our trade organisation’s 120th anniversary this year! After five years of transformation and fresh challenges, this anniversary provides us with an excellent opportunity to reflect on the accomplishments we have achieved since architectural art glass studios first incorporated the Association in the Summer of 1903. However, it is also a reminder that we cannot rest on our laurels, and we must continue to Forge New Paths to serve the next generation.”
‘Forging New Paths’ takes place at the Hyatt Regency Buffalo Hotel and Conference Center,
Two Foundation Plaza, Buffalo, New York, US, 14202.
Tracy Nicholls is fascinated by the process of decay and chooses opaque glass to depict her ideas, mostly using fusing and slumping techniques. Linda Banks finds out more.
What led you to start working with glass?
I was introduced to kiln-formed glass by a friend at work who had a glass studio. She used to bring in bits she had made. Fascinated, I enrolled on a taster course at the local adult college and was hooked. I then enrolled in an evening class progressing to the HNC and HND before moving on to UCA Farnham to do an MA in Contemporary Craft – Glass.
What glass techniques have you used and which do you prefer?
I have explored the various techniques within kiln-formed glass, starting with casting, but now I mostly fuse and slump. Recently I have been working with pate de verre. Occasionally I want to cast a piece, but I’m enjoying fusing different shapes and forms at the moment.

What is your creative approach? Do you draw your ideas out or dive straight in with the materials?
I’m not much of a sketcher, so I either go straight in with the materials or plot out the design on thin fire paper and assemble in the kiln. I work organically, so nothing is set in stone before I start and opening the kiln is always a surprise!
What inspires your work?
Much comes from microscopic images of disease, decay and erosion. The interplay with light within the forms is an important element, which can add another layer.
I shy away from ‘glassy’ glass, using opaque black and white to express my ideas. I use layers and textures to bring interest and depth to each piece.
‘Glow’ contrasts a rich, bright interior with a matt, black exterior. Photo: Amanda Rose.
What message(s) do you want to convey through your art?
Using a muted colourway that fits easily into any interior, I hope my pieces invite contemplation. They change with the light and offer something new each time they are viewed. I want the viewers to forge their own connection with the work and I do not wish to impose the ideas that are personal to me.

What is your favourite tool or piece of equipment and why?
Probably my sandblaster is my favourite. It can transform my pieces instantly with a beautiful satin finish. I don’t think any piece escapes the sandblaster, each being either fully sandblasted or contrasting the sandblasted satin finish with the shine of kiln polish. Sandblasting adds an extra dimension and interest to the pieces without introducing extra elements or colour. Taking away the properties that glass is most recognised for and presenting it as matt and opaque can confuse people. My work is often mistaken for ceramic or metal.
‘Serendipity’. Photo: Ester Segarra.
Do you have a favourite piece you have made? Why is it your favourite?
Usually the piece I am working on is my favourite, as it is new and exciting. If it becomes mundane, it’s time to try something new. I have a couple of very early pieces displayed in my house. One is the first lacy piece I made in evening classes, which I have returned to and which informs much of my current work. The other is a cast piece everyone told me would never work. They remind me where I started and what I have achieved.

Where do you show and sell your work?
I am currently showing with Contemporary Applied Arts in Marylebone, London, the Pyramid Gallery in York, as well as the Camp Gallery in Florida and Connecticut. I also have pieces in several museum collections in the UK and Europe and undertake commissions.
I also sell online through enquiries via my website and art sites, which has proved surprisingly successful.

What advice would you give to someone starting out on a career in glass?
Don’t give up. It can be the most infuriating of materials, but, when everything works and surpasses all expectations, it has all been worth it.
Do you have a career highlight?
It must be when I won the Best in Show title at the British Glass Biennale in 2008. I was still at UCA Farnham doing my MA and it was so unexpected.
‘Erosion #4’ is 100cm x 100cm x 100cm. Photo: Simon Bruntnell.
Where is your glass practice heading next?
Alongside my current practice and making new work I have just finished exhibiting at Collect in London and I am following up some opportunities from that. There is also a collaborative project in the pipeline for this year, which I am very excited about.
‘Orphica Tryptich’. Photo: Ester Segarra.
Is the global energy crisis affecting your practice?
I think it’s affecting everyone and glass making is particularly heavy in its energy consumption. I’m making sure the kiln is full before firing, plus planning the largest chunk of the firing to go on overnight, when my electricity tariff is lower.

From 24 March to 25 June 2023, Manuela Castro Martins will be exhibiting her glass art at Museo de Arte do Vidrio de Alcorcón (MAVA) in Madrid, Spain.
The ‘Corazón Salvaje’ (meaning Wild at Heart) exhibition comprises 17 glass works, dating from 2013 to the present, grouped into different series. ‘Rosáceas’, are six pieces inspired by the rose windows of Gothic architecture. They are made from brightly coloured fused glass, described by the artist as ‘fragile and beautiful, like lace’.
The ‘Impossible Jars’ series is made with metallic mesh and strung glass fragments, creating objects reminiscent of jars that have lost their main function as containers.
‘Don’t touch me’ are works made with metal and glass, aggressive and hostile to the touch but with great plastic power.
The piece ‘Wild at heart’ dates from 2016 and is inspired by the David Lynch film ‘Wild at Heart’.
Manuela’s studio is in the Portuguese town of Caminha, in Viana do Castelo, at the mouth of the Miño river in northern Portugal.
