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.
