Current Exhibition
EXPLORING LIGHT AND CLARITY
“Exploring Light and Clarity”
We invited CGS member glass artists to submit a piece of work that reflects an intuitive use or concern for light, or clarity within the glass. We were looking for work that involves light, captures light and transforms or harnesses light.
Light is the brightness that lets us see things. Light comes from sources such as the sun, moon, lamps, energy and fire.
Light is the existing agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.
Light illuminates, refracts, dims, changes, sparkles and moves.
25 glass artists, CGS members, were selected from a number of entries.
The exhibition was launched on 30th Sept 2018
Thank you to all those that entered work and took part.

Details: 25×15×23cm
I was inspired by Islamic geometric patterns in mosques
and also how the light emphasizes on volumes of architectural
details called"muqarnas" then I incorporated these details with the
fluidity of waves and this process led to the creation of this piece.

Red Light Green Light
Photographer: Teddy Devereux
Details: Fused glass casting, 15 cm x 16 cm x 4 cm
This piece is about glass chemistry, light and transformation. A simple abstract shape was cast and then captured as an organic form. Like a chameleon, it changes color when illuminated with different light wavelengths.
The glass used was Bullseye light rhubarb shift glass. After casting and cold working the abstract form, it was slumped into clear glass as a block casting. The 8” x 8” block, shown in LED light, was placed on a mirror for the dual image, and the reflected image was illuminated with fluorescent light.

A drop in the ocean
Photographer: Alison Jardine
This piece represents the moment a drop of water hits the ocean. I wanted to explore the effect that light or the lack of light has on the colours of the sea at different depths. I used colour and different glass making techniques to represent the droplet, the disturbed surface of the water and the deep blue sea where shards of light pierce the almost opaque darkness.

Dichroic Charms
Photographer: Naomi Jacques
Details: Sculptural glass
Taking inspiration from life, both in physical forms and from emotional reactions Naomi endeavours to show how both collide and create something so fragile and somehow so strong.
Combining Kiln formed glass processes with emotional reactions she expresses strengths and vulnerabilities seen through her personal life that she hopes will relate with others in similar circumstances. A process-based glass artist who thrives on pushing the boundaries of conventional processes through challenging them and adapting to suit her needs.
Jacques has developed her own way of working to create the delicate yet strong sculptural vessels she calls this process frit fusion, a process that has taken her time and patience to develop. Specialising in advanced kiln-formed glass techniques – her unique way of working creates individual delicate sculptural pieces.
Light refracting and reflecting gives her work the appearance of diamonds and crystal.
Materialise a nugget of true individual emotion.

Chartreuse with Edge
Photographer: Photography by Simon Bruntnell
Details: Elegant, gently upturned platter 30cm x 20cm, using the shimmering quality of transparent glass.
This is in essence a simple design using colour combinations and transparency for full effect.
Beautiful transparent chartreuse glass edged with 'tapestry' technique strips including chartreuse, greens & yellows.
This piece allows a lot of refracted and transmitted light through to the underlying surface. And, of course, as its 'shiny' glass, also refected light.

Spatial Clarity
Photographer: Ester Segarra
Details: Cast glass and digital decal: 335mm diameter x 130mm deep
This series of work, developed as part of my on-going PhD research, explores optical perception.
Here reverse perspective within the cast glass, starts to challenge our understanding of traditional mathematical perspective. Internal forms appear to come towards the viewer, but at the same time allow the observer to look around them, emphasising this strange virtual space within.

Enigma
Photographer: Teresa Chlapowski
Details: Sandcast glass, copper, granite. 49 x 28 x 10 cm
Without light, this alchemic medium cannot fulfill its potential. For this work, the central shadow figure needed to be polished to allow the light to come through and to give it transparency, making the figure both ‘invisible’ yet omnipresent. Light gives this sculpture an extra dimension and depth, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in all its layers and from all angles (the sides are also polished).

Frayed tulip vase
Photographer: Photograph - Peter Mehta
Details: Bullseye sheet glass and stringers
The colour of the blue stringers is refracted to the outer edge of the vessel. The clarity of shape and form is due to the inclusion of the blue stringers
Creative photography gives a transformed and abstracted projection, which was achieved by suspending the piece and shooting strong light through it, coupled with the use of a reflective surface. That imagery reinforces the frayed textile look of the tulip vase

Something soft, that breaks
Photographer: Andres Ramirez
Details: 23 x 17 x 7 cm
Blown glass water lens, giclee print, blown and slumped glass on board
To make my photographic works I blow optical objects, then photograph the effect of light on and through them. In this case a water lens is blown and the reflection of the studio is photographed in it. I then blow a sphere and collapse it in the kiln, attaching the two together, allowing the light reflections from one plane to affect the other.
This work is part of a series called 'something soft, that breaks'. I have taken the phrase from an essay by the media theorist Thomas Keenan. He quotes Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, 'but soft, what light through yonder window breaks' to highlight the moment a transparent surface is broken by light spilling in. He also uses this to think of a glass surface as invisible until the point of reflection. I love that both glass and light are something soft that breaks.

These very simple simple friendship balls were designed for and made to support a UK cancer Charity- ChemoHero.
Following a need for people to give something meaningful as a gift to someone, these were created.
The production of these, also provides the chance to support an important charity, through creativity and colour.
Hang them and catch the light, or a rainbow...
They transfer light into a room, in moving patterns.
Light and waves and the ocean, and memories of summers and holidays.

Dichroic Charms
Photographer: Naomi Jacques
Details: Sculptural glass
Taking inspiration from life, both in physical forms and from emotional reactions Naomi endeavours to show how both collide and create something so fragile and somehow so strong.
Combining Kiln formed glass processes with emotional reactions she expresses strengths and vulnerabilities seen through her personal life that she hopes will relate with others in similar circumstances. A process-based glass artist who thrives on pushing the boundaries of conventional processes through challenging them and adapting to suit her needs.
Jacques has developed her own way of working to create the delicate yet strong sculptural vessels she calls this process frit fusion, a process that has taken her time and patience to develop. Specialising in advanced kiln-formed glass techniques – her unique way of working creates individual delicate sculptural pieces.
Light refracting and reflecting gives her work the appearance of diamonds and crystal.
Materialise a nugget of true individual emotion.

Chartreuse with Edge
Photographer: Photography by Simon Bruntnell
Details: Elegant, gently upturned platter 30cm x 20cm, using the shimmering quality of transparent glass.
This is in essence a simple design using colour combinations and transparency for full effect.
Beautiful transparent chartreuse glass edged with 'tapestry' technique strips including chartreuse, greens & yellows.
This piece allows a lot of refracted and transmitted light through to the underlying surface. And, of course, as its 'shiny' glass, also refected light.

Spatial Clarity
Photographer: Ester Segarra
Details: Cast glass and digital decal: 335mm diameter x 130mm deep
This series of work, developed as part of my on-going PhD research, explores optical perception.
Here reverse perspective within the cast glass, starts to challenge our understanding of traditional mathematical perspective. Internal forms appear to come towards the viewer, but at the same time allow the observer to look around them, emphasising this strange virtual space within.

The Three muses
Photographer: photographer Mike Coles
Details: Sand cast glass on slate blocks
For me cast glass is all about manipulating light . In this piece I have contrasted the different surfaces, looking into and onto the surface of the piece. Using clear glass I have incorporated bubbles the bodies that represent the life forces of the muses.

Enigma
Photographer: Teresa Chlapowski
Details: Sandcast glass, copper, granite. 49 x 28 x 10 cm
Without light, this alchemic medium cannot fulfill its potential. For this work, the central shadow figure needed to be polished to allow the light to come through and to give it transparency, making the figure both ‘invisible’ yet omnipresent. Light gives this sculpture an extra dimension and depth, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in all its layers and from all angles (the sides are also polished).

Frayed tulip vase
Photographer: Photograph - Peter Mehta
Details: Bullseye sheet glass and stringers
The colour of the blue stringers is refracted to the outer edge of the vessel. The clarity of shape and form is due to the inclusion of the blue stringers
Creative photography gives a transformed and abstracted projection, which was achieved by suspending the piece and shooting strong light through it, coupled with the use of a reflective surface. That imagery reinforces the frayed textile look of the tulip vase

Something soft, that breaks
Photographer: Andres Ramirez
Details: 23 x 17 x 7 cm
Blown glass water lens, giclee print, blown and slumped glass on board
To make my photographic works I blow optical objects, then photograph the effect of light on and through them. In this case a water lens is blown and the reflection of the studio is photographed in it. I then blow a sphere and collapse it in the kiln, attaching the two together, allowing the light reflections from one plane to affect the other.
This work is part of a series called 'something soft, that breaks'. I have taken the phrase from an essay by the media theorist Thomas Keenan. He quotes Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, 'but soft, what light through yonder window breaks' to highlight the moment a transparent surface is broken by light spilling in. He also uses this to think of a glass surface as invisible until the point of reflection. I love that both glass and light are something soft that breaks.
