Ideas and Translations in Glass – CGS at Morley College

The Contemporary Glass Society will be hosting a day of talks “Ideas and Translations in Glass” at Morley College on Saturday 16th May.

We are delighted to announce that Joseph Harrington, Jo Guile and Dr Helen Slater Stokes will be speaking at the event. We will also be welcoming 3 previous students from Morley College to share their practises on the day, April Hillingross, Natasha Redina and Caroline Reid. Senior Glass Lecturer at Morley, Maria Zulueta, has also arranged a tour of the facilities at the college, and an exhibition of the students work too!

Tea and coffee will be provided throughout the day, and Morley College is right next to the market, which is the perfect place for a spot of lunch!

The theme of the day is looking at how ideas are translated into glass and the wide range of concepts, and use of techniques and processes artists use to bring these to life. Each of the artists speaking have different ways of making this transition from ideas to final pieces, and hopefully their talks will give a small incite into this and maybe inspire ways for you to step out of your comfort zone and experiment further with glass yourself.

Location: Morley College North Kensington - right next to Portobello Road for lunch!
Time: 10 - 4pm
Price: CGS Members - £35 CGS Student Members: £30 General Admission: £40
