Through these difficult times, our minds sometimes wander to happy days, holidays and gatherings or just places we love to visit. So here we are – back in lockdown and this is an opportunity to take your minds off to distant shores and view inspired postcard size work by CGS members.

Alan J Poole invited our 950 members to make a small piece of work with a view or reference to somewhere that means something to them.

Take a look and enjoy fun pieces to lift your spirits..

58 CGS Members decided to take part in the exhibition which was launched on 27th February 2021.

All pieces of work are for sale at £50, £100 or £150. Please contact the artists direct to buy work.

Title:I Dream of the Seaside

Description: This silly little poem should help explain the sentiment in my postcard;

Pack your bags; we’re ready to go…
To the seaside, the tide is low!
To look at the sea glisten and glow,
And colourful beach huts stretched out in a row.

Seagulls in the sky are squawking,
The Fish n Chips is hot and dripping,
Children are screaming and playing,
Windsurfers are gliding and dipping.

Description: Fused Rainbow Iridised Glass mounted onto wooden block.
The north east of Scotland, my home and birthplace is blessed with many forests and clear running rivers. Iridised glass is one of my favoured types of glass to work with. The colours in the glass and the textures which can be achieved from the way I form the glass, change dramatically with light, similar to the way that light can dramatically change our perceptions, particularly in a dense forest.

Title:Window to another world: Rockpool 1.

Description: This is a unique fused glass piece set into a turned piece of ash wood based on holidays on the coast as a child messing around in rockpools. LED lighting (supplied by mains electric) allows the sculpture to become a focus in a room during the evening, then natural light filters through the coloured glass during the day.

Diamond sparkled water, rolling to and fro,
Pebbles turning gently in the tides ebb and flow,
Rock pools of life, shallow, own worlds within,
Anemones opening, sifting life’s silt,
Crabs scurrying gently, in their sideways gait,
Searching their world, snapping, small finger bait.

Title:The Comfort of Roots

Description: Fused Rainbow Iridised Glass mounted onto wooden block.
The north east of Scotland, my home and birthplace is blessed with many forests and clear running rivers. Iridised glass is one of my favoured types of glass to work with. The colours in the glass and the textures which can be achieved from the way I form the glass, change dramatically with light, similar to the way that light can dramatically change our perceptions, particularly in a dense forest.

A coastal view was essential. It was enjoyable to create a view from memory, thank you Alan, and it may well be the first of many, as the effect of a living painting that interacts with the changing light levels is re

Title:Window to another world: Rockpool 1.

Description: This is a unique fused glass piece set into a turned piece of ash wood based on holidays on the coast as a child messing around in rockpools. LED lighting (supplied by mains electric) allows the sculpture to become a focus in a room during the evening, then natural light filters through the coloured glass during the day.

Diamond sparkled water, rolling to and fro,
Pebbles turning gently in the tides ebb and flow,
Rock pools of life, shallow, own worlds within,
Anemones opening, sifting life’s silt,
Crabs scurrying gently, in their sideways gait,
Searching their world, snapping, small finger bait.
