The 2022 Amanda Moriarty Memorial Prize offers the chance to win a five-day residency at The Glass Hub in Wiltshire.
In 2017, Amanda Moriarty, a long-serving Board member and Honorary Treasurer of the Contemporary Glass Society (CGS), passed away. To celebrate her enthusiasm and encouragement of glassmaking, CGS offers this annual prize in her memory.
The residency will enable the winner to extend their practice, with the assistance of the Glass Hub directors, Helga Watkins-Baker and Katrina Rothe, and the Glass Hub team.
The aim is to develop original ideas, with the potential to produce a new piece of work or project through to a finished piece. This can be in kiln, hot glass or lampworking techniques, or a combination of all.
The Glass Hub provides extensive glass-working facilities, supported by a dedicated team to foster individual creative growth and expertise. It runs glassmaking courses in glassblowing, fusing, lampworking and kiln working, plus many specialist techniques for all abilities, from beginner to master.
CGS will pay £300 towards accommodation/travel during the residency.
This is a fantastic opportunity for glass artists at all levels and at all stages of their careers to step back, take time and explore their potential in well-equipped studios alongside established tutors and artists.
We know that there will be a great deal of interest in this prize, so please tell us all about yourself and what you hope to achieve in your application.
A short list of four artists will be selected from all the applications. They will be interviewed via Zoom by members of the Glass Hub and the CGS Board.
The winner will be announced in early May 2022.
The residency will take place in Autumn 2022, subject to studio availability. Final dates will be confirmed by The Glass Hub.All CGS members can apply for this Prize by completing the application form and returning it to admin@cgs.org.uk . If you are not yet a member of CGS, why not join now to take advantage of this great opportunity? The application form is available via this link on the CGS Noticeboard.

Ginny Ruffner’s ‘anything is possible’ attitude has led her to use many different media and technologies in her art and public installations. Her recent work features Augmented Reality to help the viewer interact with the display. Linda Banks, Glass Network digital’s editor, finds out more.
You are a respected and long-established artist who works with a variety of different media. What led you to start working with glass?
As a painter in graduate school, I was studying Marcel Duchamp’s artwork on glass panels, entitled ‘The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even’ (also known as ‘The Large Glass’). It is such an evocative, mysterious and inspiring piece of art that I was moved to investigate working with glass.
Can you tell us something about how you developed your pioneering lampworking methods? How have they evolved?
In the early 1970s I was introduced to lampworked borosilicate glass. I realised that lampworked glass had a lot of undeveloped potential, both due to its underutilised physical properties, and its history. I had so many ideas of what could be created with this medium, but no skill to realise any of them.
I managed to secure a position as an apprentice glassblower. My aesthetic evolved in tandem with my lampworking skill. I wanted to create structures that had balance, strong construction values and visual ‘flow’. Also, I wanted to try merging lampworking with painting skills to create sculpture that had more narrative content.
My belief that anything is possible has propelled me to try many different ways of working with many different media through the years.

Do you draw your designs out or dive straight in with the materials?
Both.
What is your favourite tool or piece of equipment and why?
A pencil is my favourite, because you can record thoughts and ideas in a way that they can be recreated in your mind later.
Your glass sculptures are bright and bold. What message do you want to covey to your audience through your intricate work?
I want everyone to continue to be aware of beauty.

You push the boundaries of what contemporary craft means through incorporating the latest technologies in your installations. Can you tell us why and how you used Augmented Reality in your ‘Alternative Mythologies’ and ‘Reforestation of the Imagination’ works?
Augmented Reality (AR) is a new way of layering the art experience; one that provokes the imagination. This is always a goal of my work. AR requires some action of the viewer (to enable deployment), thereby making the art experience one of interaction and viewer intention.
The ‘Alternative Mythologies’ exhibition at the Oxbow Gallery allows visitors to interact with the objects and make AR discoveries. Photo: James Harnois.
Do you have a favourite piece you have made? Why is it your favourite?
Actually I have two:
First, ‘The Urban Garden’. This is a 30-foot high kinetic water feature in downtown Seattle in the USA. It is a favourite because of its scale and its location. It is a 30-foot tall bouquet of flowers in a pot. The flowers move and the red watering can tips and waters the pot every 15 minutes.
‘The Urban Garden’, by Ginny Ruffner, is located at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel, Seattle, USA. This picture shows her at the opening in front of the giant flower pot.
The second is ‘Mind Garden’. This was an installation at the Seattle Art Museum that included 30,000 freeze-dried roses and several large steel and glass sculptures. It is a favourite because it smelled great and was referential to the beautiful garden that is one’s mind.

What direction will your art take next?
Who knows? Probably more tech – tech that doesn’t exist yet.
Where do you show and sell your work?
I usually sell my glass work at Austin Art Projects in Palm Desert, California. Typically, my work is shown at museums or in permanent public art settings.
‘Reforestation of the Imagination’ AR installation at the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian.
ROTI combines traditional sculpture with AR. By using technology to overlay digital information onto sculptural objects, two disparate environments are portrayed.
The initial environment consists of five barren land masses which support the colourless glass stumps. Apart from the painted shelf, mushrooms and painted tree rings on the stumps and logs, the scene is colourless. The five land masses surround a sixth rocky outcropping with a beautifully grotesque bronze and fibreglass tree. This central tree, made of various materials (fibreglass, bronze, plastic) that have survived this devastation, is returning to a familiar canopy shape.
The barren landscape comes alive with AR technology, revealing bright, new plant life.
At first glance, the devastated landscape appears to be barren. Yet, upon viewing the tree rings aided by AR technology, a second environment is revealed. Plants appear (both fruit and flowers) which have evolved from existing flora. They have developed dramatic and beautiful appendages and the skills necessary to adapt and flourish in this new, radically different environment. From accessing nutrients in ways that symbiotically improve their surrounding conditions, to developing new protections from new threats, these adaptations are unexpected, beautiful and optimistic.
This is nature reimagining itself. The imagination can’t be exterminated. It just recreates itself.
Who or what inspires you?
Nature. Thinking. Reading.
Ginny Ruffner has devoted her career to pushing the boundaries of art and is not afraid to try new materials and approaches.

Italian glassmaker, Simone Crestani will be holding a solo exhibition of his ‘Façon de Venise’ collection at the Scene Ouverte gallery in Paris in March. This show is his tribute to the historical techniques of glass on the island of Murano.
In a universe inspired by the majestic power of nature, Crestani’s work combines tradition and modernity. The forms of the past find new life in a contemporary craft. His research into historic Venetian techniques has led him to celebrate history with works exuding a timeless elegance.
Crestani pushes the technical and artistic boundaries of his discipline, without ever forgetting that art and history are intimately linked. Glass is the very subject of his works. In his creations, the utilitarian aspect fades and gives way to sculptural forms.
At the age of 15, Crestani began an apprenticeship in a glass workshop and discovered a deep bond with glass. He worked as an artisan for a long time to perfect his skills. Today, he creates artistic works in his eco-sustainable studio that respects the environment.
See the exhibition from 10 March to 30 April 2022 at Galerie Scene Ouverte, 72 rue Mazarine, 75006 Paris, France. Website: http://galerie-sceneouverte.com/en/
One of the objects in the exhibition will be Crestani’s covered goblet, ‘Metamorfosi’. This unique piece uses colourless, mould-blown glass and features a baluster stem and a handle with a beetle, as shown in this detail shot. Photo: Alberto Parise.

Leading glass artists from around the world will be showcasing their glass blowing skills at the ‘Melting Pot: Hot Glass Gathering’ event, on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 March 2022.
The event, organised and hosted by Plymouth College of Art in the UK, will be an opportunity for beginners and professionals in glass, plus members of the public, to experience the drama and beauty of hot glass, blown in real time by internationally renowned glass artists.
‘Melting Pot’ brings together live-streamed hot-glass demonstrations and lectures, in person and remotely, with some of the most exciting artists working in glass today. Featured artists and studios include: Elliot Walker, winner of the second series of Netflix’s glass blowing competition, ‘Blown Away’; Wave Glass in Murano, Italy, and the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The show is part of the UK’s national celebrations for the United Nations-designated International Year of Glass in 2022.
Gayle Matthias, an artist and Plymouth College of Art’s Subject Leader for BA (Hons) Craft & Material Practices, is the organiser and curator. She commented, “Plymouth College of Art is one of the few remaining Higher Education institutions in the UK where glassblowing techniques can be studied, which makes it vital that we join the international celebrations planned for the UN International Year of Glass.
“Melting Pot will join a global programme of activities that include congresses, industrial fairs, artistic exhibitions and books designed to highlight and celebrate glass technologies’ significant contribution to advancements in the arts and sciences. This is a very exciting opportunity to open our doors and show off some of the drama and beauty of this mesmerising art form.”
Plymouth College of Art’s hot glass workshops and Plymouth Art Cinema (located at Plymouth College of Art, Tavistock Place, Plymouth, PL4 8AT), will be the hub for activities including hot-glass demonstrations by Elliott Walker, Bethany Wood and Andrew Collins, plus live-streamed demonstrations from Italy and The Netherlands.
Melting Pot will also feature regional collaborations in England with the Contemporary Glass Society, Rhizome (an artists’ collective which includes Plymouth College of Art alumni), Cornwall Ceramics and Glass Group, and Teign Valley Glass in Devon.
Teign Valley Glass (located in the Old Pottery, Pottery Rd, Bovey Tracey TQ13 9DS), will open its studio doors to different glassblowers, who will demonstrate their skills in situ and via a live streaming link to Plymouth College of Art.
Some activities are open to walk in on the day, while others, such as the Elliot Walker and Bethany Wood demonstrations, must be booked on Eventbrite in advance. All tickets are free of charge. See the full event schedule on the Plymouth College of Art website here: https://www.plymouthart.ac.uk/melting-pot
Plymouth College of Art has a wide range of design studios and workshops that include specialist facilities for glass, ceramics, metal and wood, alongside rapid digital prototyping facilities in Fab Lab Plymouth. It offers courses that give students the opportunity to reinvent craft for the 21st century, including BA (Hons) Craft & Material Practices, MA Craft & Material Practices and MA Glass.
The Contemporary Glass Society (CGS) has an exciting opportunity to show your postcard-sized glass art at the International Festival of Glass this summer.
In 2022 the Commonwealth Games are coming to Birmingham, UK. In recognition of this event, the CGS invites glass artists to celebrate the amazing countries and people of the Commonwealth through an exhibition of 100 small and unique glass works. All submissions will feature in an open show at this prestigious Festival, taking place in August 2022 at Stourbridge, UK.
Over the last couple of years, many of us have not been able to venture abroad, so the CGS chair Susan Purser-Hope, says, “Let your imagination take you around the world instead. In this year of the Commonwealth Games, let’s celebrate the diversity and richness of the many countries and territories that make up the Commonwealth in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and Oceania.
“Take a magical mystery tour and send us a glass postcard inspired by a richness of countries, from Australia to Zambia, Bangladesh to Malta, Brunei Darussalam to Vanuatu.
“Commonwealth countries are diverse – they are among the world’s biggest, smallest, richest and poorest countries. Celebrate their sites, fauna and flora, sea world, agriculture, industry and uniqueness in a small piece of glass holiday memorabilia.”
To make it fun and challenging, all pieces of work will be offered for sale for £50, £75 or £100. There will also be prizes.
‘Holiday Heaven’ is a free-to-enter, unselected show, open to all CGS members. If you would like to take part but are not yet a member, why not join here?
The deadline to register is 31 March 2022 and the exhibition dates are 26 August-23 September 2022.
CGS is grateful to Mark Holford and Alan J Poole, who have sponsored this exhibition.

Another pillar of the glassmaking community has passed away this month: Anthony Stern.
Stern became known for his avant-garde films during his early life, but turned to glass work thanks to his fascination with colour and light. He completed an MA in Glass at the Royal College of Art and was drawn to the immediacy of the material.
Stern encapsulated his thinking on his website with this quote: “I have made glass my first language. I can express an endless variety of ideas and thoughts from the functional and prosaic to lyrical, healing and mystical.
“Set against this, I am fascinated by the rituals of repetition. The physical focus achieved by glass blowing in a limited production team is my own personal yoga.”
His work is in the collections of the rich and famous, including the Queen, Sir Elton John and the Saudi Royal Family.
Scottish painter and glass maker Kate Henderson is presenting her first solo exhibition at Doubtfire Gallery in the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh, Scotland, from 16 February until 18 March 2022.
While Kate is known for her vibrant colourful paintings and stained glass, this show, entitled ‘On Reflection’, presents a quieter, more reflective series of works.
Kate says, “My work has developed from my experience during the pandemic, being at home with my family. I was fortunate that I had a good experience and no hardship or illness. It gave me time to develop and reflect on my drawing and mixed media work, which I based on the trees around my home and watching them move into the different seasons. My glass work is augmented by some bright colour Edinburgh drawings, based on the architecture of the city.”
Kate’s art incorporates traditional and contemporary techniques in glass. It includes painted, layered, acid etched and waterjet cutting methods.

“I’m interested in creating pieces that explore the fragility of glass, working into the surface, as well as the edges, to expose the vulnerability of the material,” she explains. “Over the years I have developed a painterly approach to both my painting and glass work. I feel that the relationship between my glass and painting continues to strengthen and develop, influencing the mark making in each discipline.”
Kate trained in stainedglass at Edinburgh College of Art in the early 1990s and has since built up a varied portfolio of commissioned stained glass for public and private buildings across Scotland and Europe. She is an elected associate member of the British Society of Master Glass Painters and was chair of the Scottish Glass Society from 2013-16.
Doubtfire Gallery is at 28 North West Circus Place, Edinburgh EH3 6TZ. The gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday 12 noon to 4pm, or by appointment. More information via: www.doubtfiregallery.com

Calum Dawes was awarded the 2021 Amanda Moriarty Memorial Prize, provided each year by the Contemporary Glass Society. This time, the prize was made possible by the generous donation of time and assistance of glassmakers James Devereux and Katie Huskie. They provided two sessions of two days at their Devereux & Huskie Glassworks. Here, Calum describes his experience and what he gained from the opportunity.
I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity, which allowed me to further develop a body of work I started in lockdown, and to explore otherwise unattainable scale and complexity.
At the initial session with James and Katie, in early November 2021, we spoke about form and scale.
Then we made a series of vessels, some of which were much larger than I had previously attempted. We also experimented with colour overlays, as well as form.
Two of the bowl forms. The larger one is called ‘Capsize’ and the smaller one is ‘Octopus Chilli Soup’.
This was a great experience. I have not worked with makers to produce glass in this way before and, once I adjusted to it, it was really enjoyable.
Next, I took these vessels back to my studio and selected the ones I would like to take further. I spent many hours over a few weeks painting imagery onto the interiors of the bowls with vitreous enamels.
One of the reasons that this was such a valuable experience was knowing I would have James and Katie’s help. This meant I could commit to creating much more detailed imagery, safe in the knowledge that the bowls were much more likely to be successful.
In the end I decided to paint two of the largest vessels and a set of four smaller ones. Inside I painted marine life and somewhat surrealist imagery, which I think worked well with the liquid-like optics of the glass when filled and sculpted.
Detail of ‘Capsize’ vessel, featuring delicate imagery applied in vitreous enamel.
Once the bowls were completed, I very carefully posted them back to Devereux & Huskie. We brought the bowls up in the kilns overnight and the next morning James picked them up, flashed them to fire the enamels fully, then put them back in the kilns. Then they were filled with a mass of glass before smoothing out and sculpting the surface of the ‘liquid’ using the hot torch.
The largest of the bowls were extremely heavy and would have been very difficult to handle without the skills and setup at Devereux & Huskie.
Immediately before putting the pieces away, we added small, sculpted details to the surface of the glass.
It’s always exciting to see the painting fired and then transformed by the mass of solid clear glass. It was wonderful to see it form out of the bench.
I am thrilled with the results and learned a lot about refining the process. I also understand better what works, in terms of scale compared to the level of detail in the imagery, and how the solid glass affects the optics.
The experience has taught me about how working with other artists can realise more ambitious projects, and helped me to assess what I think is effective about this work.
Again, I am extremely grateful to be given this opportunity and I’m very excited to continue with this body of work.

Here Helmut Ricke shares his recollections of Erwin Eisch, a pioneer of the studio glass movement and founder of Bild-Werk Frauenau in Germany.
It didn’t hit the glass world unexpectedly, but still it came as a shock, as a turning point and at the same time as a conclusion. Erwin Eisch, the last representative of the founding generation of the International Studio Glass Movement, died on 25 January in Zwiesel, near Frauenau, Germany, at the age of 94.
Thus ended the life of an artist whose importance for free working with glass, in Germany and far beyond, can hardly be overestimated. His historic role as inspiration for Harvey Littleton on his crucial European trip in 1962 is undisputed. His work built the bridge from Europe to the USA for modern glass.
The stages of his long artistic life are well known: 1946 to 1949 an apprenticeship as a glass engraver in his father’s workshop, 1949 to 1952 and 1956 to 1959 studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, where he was also a member of the artists‘ group SPUR; in 1960 shaking up the Munich art scene with the group RADAMA, and their spectacular exhibition for the fictional artist Bolus Krim. His return to Frauenau and work in the family business there, and soon at his own furnace.
From 1960/61 he undertook intensive “provocation of form” through freely designed non-functional vessel objects; 1962 saw his first solo exhibition in Stuttgart and the beginning of the friendship with Littleton and, from 1964, numerous trips to conferences and courses in the United States, Europe and Japan.
In Frauenau, with Eisch’s participation, the glass museum got off the ground. Bild-Werk Frauenau was founded as an International Summer Academy. Symposia were organised and the idea of a Bavarian Forest National Park and other projects in the region were promoted.
The focus of Erwin Eisch’s art was, for him, the human in the broadest sense. This applied above all to his painting, which was always a priority, but also to his glass works, with which he always endeavoured to achieve the spontaneous, emotional effects of his painting. When working with glass, the hot material formed directly at the furnace became his very own medium. The behaviour of the flowing, molten glass mass in the fire, which became the starting point for the Studio Glass Movement, remained his preferred means of expression throughout his life, and he never renounced its spontaneous effect.

He often used moulds prepared by his wife, the sculptor Gretel Eisch, for his objects. These pieces were then shaped through free forming at the furnace and subsequent painting, gilding and engraving. Short titles, quotes or half-sentences often became the carrier of meaning. The occasional poetic cut of these words was always part of the overall effect and encouraged the viewer to engage with the work.
Every inch a man of conviction, Eisch fought for his views throughout his life. Formative experiences in the Nazi era, in the war and in the immediate post-war period formed an important background for his life and his creative work, but did not prevent him from often giving his work a humorous edge.
Conversations with him were always lively and eye-opening. If you met him in exhibitions or jury meetings, there was always engaged discussion. But for him it was not about being right, or about self-aggrandisement or one’s infallibility, but about a firm attitude that had to be defended.
Erwin Eisch will be missed not only because of his art, but also as an unmistakable voice in the discourse of international glass art.

Glass artist Alison Lowry’s solo exhibition, ‘The Bystander Effect’, confronts the treatment of pregnant women and unmarried mothers in Ireland over the past 300 years.
Having been shown at Golden Thread Belfast in 2021, this thought-provoking installation has moved to An Táin Arts Centre in Dundalk, Ireland, where it is on show now until 26 March 2022.
As Lowry explains, “The academic Dr James Smith coined the term ‘Architecture of containment’ to describe the systems and physical infrastructure that were utilised to incarcerate women and children in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries in Ireland. These institutions included: Industrial schools, Children’s ‘homes’, Mother and Baby Institutions and Magdalene Laundries.
“Women and children were ‘hidden in plain sight’ in these religious and state-run institutions, ostracised and ‘othered’ by society. The ‘shame’ that the unmarried mother brought to her family and the (complicit) wider community meant that after delivering her baby in secret, the mother was frequently coerced into signing her baby away to be adopted or placed into a children’s home.”
Attempting to exhume Ireland’s most recent past, and its subsequent intergenerational trauma, Lowry’s work draws on the recently published research reports, ‘Mother and Baby Homes and Magdalene Laundries in Northern Ireland’, the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry and the McAleese Report.
The exhibition employs windows salvaged from a derelict Industrial school as a construct and metaphor, and as a physical memorial to seeing/not seeing what was happening.
The piece ‘#onemillionbabyshoes’ calls for the graves of the hundreds of thousands of babies and children who died in these homes all over Ireland to be marked appropriately.
The trauma – still suffered by birth mothers – is explored through performance, video and sound in the work ‘Lost to Me’.
‘They all had names’ was documented outside the gates of Milltown Cemetery in Belfast where it is estimated that 35,000 babies lie in the Bog Meadows in unmarked mass graves.
‘Apology now’ demands that the recommendations laid out in the Hart report are finally acknowledged by the State. ‘Stained’ glass is created using testimony from the Hart report and an adult survivor’s drawings of his time spent in Nazareth Lodge Boys Home in Belfast.
Finally, ‘Dirty Laundry’ examines institutional legacy using aerial performance, sound and a costume created from napkins recovered from one of Ireland’s last standing Magdalene Laundries.
The An Táin Arts Centre is at Crowe Street, Dundalk, Co. Louth, A91 W20C Ireland. The exhibition is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm. Website: https://www.antain.ie
