Contemporary Glass Society: “New Horizons.” Exhibition at the Stourbridge Glass Museum
Contemporary Glass Society: “New Horizons.”
Exhibition at the Stourbridge Glass Museum –
13th July to 17th November 2024
Following on from CGS’s very successful and popular 25th Anniversary exhibition at the Stourbridge Glass Museum in 2022, we are delighted to be invited back and are returning to the Museum with our new exhibition “New Horizons”.
“New Horizons” runs for four months from 13th July to 17th November, 2024 and coincides with the Stourbridge based International Festival of Glass and Glass Biennale which takes place during the summer. The Stourbridge Glass Museum is an ideal venue to host this display of exemplary contemporary glass from CGS members and, alongside this stunning display of work, CGS is running supporting events including artist talks and an opportunity to meet some of the makers.
Meet the Makers on Saturday 24th August from 11.00am - 12.30pm.
Stourbridge Glass Museum opened in 2022 in the centre of the Stourbridge Glass Quarter. This world class venue houses over 500 items from the internationally renowned Stourbridge Glass Collection, celebrating the heritage of glassmaking in both the local area and internationally. In addition, the Museum also highlights the best in contemporary glass design,
The “New Horizons” exhibition will showcase both traditional methods of glass making along with modern techniques, all producing contemporary work that challenges and explores the boundaries of glass. All the work on show will be either be made especially for the exhibition or is work which has been made since 2022 but has not been previously exhibited. Consequently, “New Horizons” provides a unique opportunity to experience work never before seen in public.
A diverse range of glass making processes from hot glass, casting, kiln formed, pâte de verre, lampworking, neon, and stained glass will be represented by the following artists:
Anthony Amoako-Attah, Emma Baker, Philip Baldwin and Monica Guggisberg, Heike Brachlow, Sarah Brown, Karen Browning, Penny Carter, James Devereux, Catherine Dunstan, Fiaz Elson, Dominic Fondé, Richard Jackson, Verity Pulford, Susan Purser Hope, Laura Quinn, Tim Rawlinson, Opal Seabrook, Ruth Shelley, Angela Thwaites, and Brian Waugh.
This cornucopia of glass work reflects the dynamism and sheer talent of contemporary glass in this country and demonstrates how glass makers continue to develop and challenge our understanding of glass as an artistic medium.
The Contemporary Glass Society “New Horizons” exhibition is an opportunity to view and experience the best of British contemporary glass artists and should not be missed!
We are grateful to the Golsoncott Foundation for a grant towards this exhibition.
