Ground Up Exhibition, in Kings Lynn

Liz Waugh McManus has artwork in Ground Up exhibition at GroundWork Gallery in King’s Lynn which showcases artistic responses to the Ground Up Extraction IV residency this Summer.  The show continues until 14 December.
As the only glass artist, her focus was ’silica’ and the local extraction of sand from Sibelco quarry which supplies most of the British glass industry.
She also looked at local history of glass-making from medieval times to the 20th century,  and experimented with forest glass-making recipes.

 

GroundWork is a gallery for art and the environment.

Sad Death of Iain Gunn

We heard today the sad news of the death of Iain Gunn. Iain was one of the founding members of North Lands Creative Glass and a driving force behind the development and expansion of the wonderful glass school and facility. We send our warmest regards to Iain’s wife Bunty, who is a joy to everyone she meets. I have so many fond memories of them both.

Together they worked hard with Dan Klein, Lord Bob Maclennan, Denis Mann and Alan J Poole to start the amazing project in the far North of Scotland, something we tragically dearly miss.
Pam Reekie.
