From 10th August until 16th September 2012 Alison Lowry will exhibit in Young & Loving: Retrospective 7-11 with at the S12 Galleri & Verksted, Bergen.

Stine Bidstrup’s ‘Let Your Eyes Be the Invention’ and Julia Malle’s ‘Rhizome’). A common trait amongst these artists is that they play with light and shadow.

GLASS WORKSHOP WITH JIYONG LEE,
DUBLIN
In this workshop students will focus on understanding various properties of glass material as an artistic medium and learn a variety of cold working processes including cutting, grinding, carving, laminating, and refining and polishing of the surface. The creative possibilities in the workshop will be expended with learning about laminating, adhesives, and general HXTAL lamination set up. Through working on the projects students will explore problem solving in the cold working studio, common mistakes, and efficient ways to cold work glass.
Korean born Jiyong Lee is Head of the Glass program of Southern Illinois University Carbondale since 2005. He graduated from the MFA program at Rochester Institute of Technology in US, 2000.

He specializes in cold-working and kiln-forming processes and he has exhibited nationally and internationally. He lectures and gives demonstrations widely, including the 2007 Glass Art Society Conference, Rochester Institute of Technology, the Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass, Cleveland Institute of Art, Penland School of Crafts, Pilchuck Glass School, Pittsburgh Glass Center, and Kook-Min University, Seoul, Korea.

CONTEMPORARY GLASS SOCIETY
INVITES SUBMISSIONS TO
EXHIBIT, UK
Two important new exhibitions of world-class glass art are about to mark a renewed interest in a medium that beautifully blurs the boundaries between fine art, craft and design.
Hot Glass: new work from the furnace will be dedicated to the best in contemporary blown, hot-worked and sand-cast glass and takes place at London’s Contemporary Applied Arts (CAA) gallery next spring. Hot Glass, a collaboration between CAA and the Contemporary Glass Society, will present a dynamic mix of new work from some of the world’s most talented artists.
New Glass: Ancient Skill, Contemporary Artform will focus on the skill and creativity of today’s glassmakers in an exhibition at the stunning Blackwell Arts and Crafts house in Bowness-on-Windermere. New Glass, jointly organised with the Lakeland Arts Trust (LAT), will run from January to April next year. It will showcase the best of glassmakers’ skills and artistic vision in synergy with the house and its history. The exhibition will also reveal something of the hidden processes that underpin the glassmaker’s art. Drawings, models and photographic documentation of processes will be presented alongside the work selected for the show.
Both exhibitions are being organised by the Contemporary Glass Society as part of Glass Skills – the second stage of a two-year project to put contemporary glass on the map. The programme began this summer with more than 70 glass events inspired by the Olympic games. Glass Skills follows on with a year-long celebration of the imagination and talent of contemporary glassmakers and their role in keeping ancient skills alive. Artists are now being invited to submit work and proposals.
