ANDREA SPENCER WINS ART IN ACTION PRIZE AT BRITISH GLASS
BIENNALE
Andrea Spencer was one of
seventy-one glass artists who were selected to exhibit at the British
Glass Biennale in August 2012 where her piece 'Metamorphosis' was
awarded the Art in Action prize. 'Metamorphosis' had previously been part of the Engaging
with Glass exhibition that showed at the Solstice Art Centre, Co.
Meath (2011), and at the William Traver Gallery in Tacoma, USA (2012).
Andrea has been selected for the Biennale in 2008 and 2010, and was the
only artist from Northern Ireland selected in 2012.
The Art in Action prize consists of a cash award of
£1,000 and the opportunity to demonstrate and exhibit at the Art in
Action event in July 2013 in Waterperry, England. You can see Andrea
Spencer's work along with the other exhibitors at The British Glass
Biennale which is currently running in Stourbridge, West Midlands until
the 15 September 2012. The exhibition is based in the newly refurbished
industrial space of the former Webb Corbett/Royal Doulton Glass factory,
which opened this August as an Arts Centre.

GLASS CLASSES AT LEITRIM SCULPTURE CENTRE
Glassblowing for Beginners Workshop
Dates: Saturday 15th & Sunday 16th September 2012/Monday 17th & Tuesday 18th September 2012
Trainers: Louise Rice & Graham Reid
Course Fees: €240 (two days) – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Maximum Participants: 4 (no experience required)
In this two-day workshop you will explore the extraordinary medium of hot glass. You will learn how to gather glass out of the furnace, to control and shape the hot glass, to blow a bubble and make a simple vessel. Working in two small teams, the emphasis of this course is hands-on experience, with demos and support from an experienced glassblower.
Louise Rice is based at the Sculpture Centre in Manorhamilton and studied glass at Edinburgh College of Art and the Rietveld Acadamie in Amsterdam. Rice has work in the Ulster Museum and in the National Glass Museum, Netherlands. Graham Reid received a Bachelors degree in Sculptural Glass from Massachusetts College of Art. He built Knockbeg Studios where he taught glassblowing, and now works as a sculptor in glass, wood and metal from his studio in Sligo.
Sand Casting with Hot Glass Workshop
Date: Friday 21st September
Trainer: Keith Seybert
Course Fees: €140 (one day) – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Maximum Participants: 6 (no experience required)
This course will introduce you to the potential of molten glass as a creative material through the process of hot casting into sand moulds. You will have the opportunity to ladle glass straight from the furnace and pour into prepared open-faced sand moulds made with found and sculpted objects. This is the most direct method to create your own solid sculptural forms in glass. No previous glass working experience is required and all materials will be provided. Feel free to bring in your own objects to press in the sand. Appropriate footwear is a must; leather boots are preferred, leather shoes are acceptable, no open-toed shoes or sandals!
Hot Glass-casting into Zircar Moulds Workshop
Dates: Monday 24th - Wednesday 26th September 2012
Trainer: Keith Seybert
Course Fees: €395 (three days) – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Maximum Participants: 6 (no experience required)
This three-day course will introduce you to the potential of Zicar. This 'space-age' mould material exhibits excellent surface reproduction with an optical finish. Molten glass can be poured directly into light-weight porous moulds with no need for gating or venting. You will have the opportunity to ladle glass straight from the furnace and pour into preheated sculptural moulds. This is the most cutting edge mould method for hot-casting your own solid sculptural forms in glass. No previous glass working experience is required and Zircar will be provided.
Participants must bring in wax objects to use in the moulding process. Appropriate footwear is a must; leather boots are preferred, leather shoes are acceptable, no open-toed shoes or sandals!
Keith Alan Seybert received MA qulifications in Sculpture, and Glass and Ceramics from Washington University, St. Louis in 1987 and 1995. He has led numerous workshops in a variety of glass and sculpture techniques in the US, Europe and beyond. From 1999 to 2001 he was a Senior Researcher at the Royal College of Art, London, where he headed an in-depth examination of investment type refractory moulds for casting glass and bronze; a topic he has lectured on at many international venues including 2002 and 2009 at the annual Glass Art Society conference. He currently lives in Ireland and works from his studio in Blarney, Co. Cork.
