GLASS HEAP CHALLENGE - CALL FOR ENTRIES
Glass Heap Challenge are looking for teams of glass protagonists, artists, designers, architects and technologists to take part in an event at the International Festival of Glass, Stourbridge (20th – 24th August 2012). As we all know there is a lot of waste glass out there and not much happening with it, this is a global problem and global solutions are needed. There are new laws afoot which will make it harder to deal with this waste and a higher price is going to be charged for its disposal. This all leads to an urgent need to find solutions and a way to work with this waste glass and its unique qualities, to find a way to show its potential and new paths that will lead us to a more sustainable future. The challenge is to up-cycle waste glass into a product, artwork or installation. It can be functional or non functional. There are only a limited number of days to work in and you have to exhibit what you have made at the end of the challenge. All work produced must be approached using the minimal available technology.
Three to a team and only one has to have a glass background. We have a great space to work in, we have accommodation during the challenge and you get to exhibit your new work and potentially work with waste glass companies to develop your designs into a product.
There will be an opening and prizes given and lots more.
If you are interested, please register your interest to info@glassheapchallenge.com after the 1st May 2012 you will receive an application form with terms and conditions and the schedule for the event. The deadline is 31st May 2012.
