Glass Skills - The Unbroken Line
A year of exhibitions that celebrate the glassmaker’s skill

The Contemporary Glass Society highlights 15 exhibitions taking place throughout 2013 at some of the UK’s top galleries. The shows present the ingenuity and sheer talent of today’s glass artists and represent an unbroken line of glass-making skill – taking us from the ancient past, through the creative present and into the future.

The Unbroken Line is part of the CGS Glass Skills project – 12 months of exhibitions, events and workshops that explore the fusion of art and technique. Find out more at www.cgs.org.uk

Erwin Eisch – Clouds Have Been My Foothold All Along

Exhibition
Saturday, 29 June 2013 to Sunday, 22 September 2013

Erwin Eisch is internationally recognised as one of the key founders of the studio glass movement. Working in the small town of Frauenau in Bavaria, Eisch has used glass as an artistic medium from the late 1950s creating a wide ranging body of work exploring and often contradicting the established qualities of glass and creating objects which express his thoughts, beliefs and views. The exhibition will present work created by Eisch across his career including glass objects, vitreographs (prints from glass) drawing and painting.
