Glass and Ceramics 2012

Degree Show

Our final year students are emerging artists who have used glass and ceramics to express themselves in a world of visual and tactile art.

Throughout their time here the students have all, in their individual, inspirational and at times idiosyncratic ways, entered into a dialogue with the materials, through which they could push the boundaries of their creativity to the limits. The results of the challenge set by the teaching staff, to at all times test and probe, explore and experiment, have paid off handsomely and are here on public display.

]]> http://glassresearch.sunderland.ac.uk/about/newsevents/events/event/index.php?eid=649 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 10:00:00 BST International Symposium in Architectural Glass http://glassresearch.sunderland.ac.uk/about/newsevents/events/event/index.php?eid=589 The event runs from 09:00 on 17th May 2012 until 18:00 on 18th May 2012

The International Institute of Research in Glass (IIRG) presents the second International Symposium in Architectural Glass, focusing on ‘Working with light as a means of interaction between space and the mind’.

The emphasis of this event is on how flat glass is used three dimensionally in space and as a creative means of expression. This will explore both the theoretical and practical aspects of this process: idea exploration; design development; use of new technologies; the possibilities of technical restrictions; and the multi-disciplinary approach prevalent in many projects.

The Symposium will run on Thursday 17 and Friday 18 May 2012 at the National Glass Centre. The event will take the form of traditional lectures, panel discussions, workshops demonstrations and informal networking opportunities. Speakers include:

Marian Karel
Dana Zamecnikova
Judith Schaechter
Algirdas Dovydenas
Daan Roosegaarde
Rodney Bender
Tim Macfarlane
Alexander Beleschenko
