SUMMARY:Sea Glass From The Flame
DESCRIPTION:Sea Glass from the Flame  a three-day workshop\, taking inspiration from the north Antrim shoreline to create sculptural objects in the flame with Borosilicate glass.  \nYou will learn how to use heat and gravity to manipulate glass in the flame. We will cover methods and techniques to bend\, stretch\, sculpt and carve molten glass to create sculptural objects\, inspired by natural forms found locally on the magical shoreline of Whitepark bay. \nUsing both bench and hand torches\, you will discover how I build intricate elements at the torch and combine solid and hollow sculpting techniques to create the larger sculptural pieces I make.  I will also demonstrate how I incorporate glass elements with mixed media to make a variety of sculptural assemblages\, installations\, and objects. \nThe class will offer demonstrations alongside practice at individual workstations. There will be group discussions and  field trips for inspiration. Together we’ll discover how to harness the magic of the sea to create detailed and intricate work with glass in the flame. \nNo previous glassmaking experience is necessary. All materials\, tools and safety equipment will  be provided. \n\nContact : andreaspencerglass@gmail.com\nWebsite: https://www.andreaspencerglass.com/classes/2024/7/26/sea-glass-and-the-flame\nCost : £450\nDates : July 26th -28th 9 – 5pm\nVenue: Benefield Spencer Glass  35 Lagavara Road Ballintoy Co.Antrim BT54 6NG

SUMMARY:Glass Runway
DESCRIPTION:Glass Runway is a unique exhibition that enables glass artists and fashion designers from across the island to collaborate on the most surprising material you can wear – glass! \nShowcasing the unexpected potential of glass and fashion\, the participating artists use their skills not only to make\, but to question the gender bias and champion inclusion: expect hot topics\, hard truths\, thought-provoking reflections and an unyielding focus on what beauty\, gender and equality mean to different people. \nThis event is brought to NI craft audiences by the Glass Society of Ireland\, in collaboration with The Council of Irish Fashion Designers\, and will take place at Craft NI Gallery\, Belfast between June 6 and July 25\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Irish Stained Glass Nearby Lecture Series: Stained Glass: Past\, Present And Future
DESCRIPTION:Margaret Beker joins us for a Stained Glass Nearby Lecture titled “Stained Glass: Past\, Present and Future” \n  \nDuring this upcoming lecture\, Margaret Beker will explore the history of stained glass\, from its 12th century origins to its modern-day applications. She will highlight the work of Evie Hone\, an Irish artist who played a crucial role in the revival of stained glass. Beker will delve into the traditional methods she utilizes to create stained glass\, including painting\, firing\, and composing windows and panels. Additionally\, the lecture will touch on the decline of religious-themed stained glass and the growing trend towards domestic applications. Finally\, Beker will conclude the lecture with a discussion on the future of stained glass\, exploring the potential use of non-traditional methods such as fusing glass.  \nBiography: \nMargaret Beker was born in Dublin\, Ireland\, and received her education at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin.

Becker’s stained glass panels can be found in churches and private residences throughout Ireland\, the UK\, Europe\, and the USA. \nFrom 1962 to 1964\, Becker worked at An Túr Gloine. In 1963\, she established a stained glass studio in Dublin alongside Patrick Pye. She later joined the Graphic Studio on Mount Street in 1972 and was the founding member of the Leinster Printmaking Studio in 1998. \nBecker has had solo exhibitions of her work at various galleries\, including Kilkock Art Gallery in Co. Kildare (1993) and Peacock Theatre in Dublin (1981\, 1978). She has also participated in numerous group shows\, including exhibitions at the Graphic Studio Gallery (2010\, 2009\, 2008) and the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin (1996). \nHer impressive work is included in the collection of The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon.  \nThis event is free to members and open to non-members. \nReserve your tickets here for : https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/stained-glass-past-present-and-future-tickets-558100663107 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Stained Glass Nearby Lecture Series: Murphy-Devitt Studios presented by Reiltín Murphy
DESCRIPTION:An overview of Murphy-Devitt Studios\, Dublin\, whose work spanned 1955-2004 in site specific abstract and figurative glass presented by Reiltín Murphy. \n  \nAs Murphy-Devitt Studios\, Dublin\, this small group of artists and craftsmen produced stained glass from 1958 to 1978. Working together more loosely outside of these dates their work spans from 1955 to 2004. The Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass lists their work under the artists’ names: Johnny Murphy\, Róisín Dowd Murphy and others but in fact the Studio preferred to produce their work as a team and rarely put individual names outside of the Murphy-Devitt Studios date of 1958-1978. \nJohnny Murphy and Dessie (John A) Devitt met at the Harry Clarke Studios in the early 1950s. Johnny was an artist employed by Clarkes as a glass painter and Dessie was a master craftsman. They set up their own studio just in time to catch the church building boom of the 1960s. Murphy-Devitt Studios produced work for most counties in Ireland\, for England\, and abroad. \nJohnny was an innovative designer who produced both figurative and abstract work and who got the very best from the other artists who were employed at the Studio from time to time: as a lecturer in Glass at the National College of Art and Design he chose the most talented students to work in the Studio under his leadership. Please see www.murphydevittstudios.com. \n  \nAbout the Presenter: \nReiltín Murphy is a contributor to the Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass having researched the work of Murphy-Devitt Studios with Anthony Devitt: Johnny Murphy and Dessie Devitt were their fathers. Having grown up in the Studio\, Reiltín assisted with many of the windows and designed several in association with Johnny Murphy. Please see www.reiltinmurphy.ie for more about Reiltín. \n  \nFree for GSOI Members\, 11.53 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Stained Glass Nearby Lecture Series: The Sacred and the Secular: the Work of George Walsh presented by Finola Finlay
DESCRIPTION:George Walsh is one of Ireland’s finest contemporary stained glass artists\, represented in the Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass by over a hundred windows dating from the 1960s to the present day. George’s father\, George Stephen Walsh\, apprenticed under Harry Clarke\, later moving to Northern Ireland to design for Clokey of Belfast. While there\, George apprenticed under his father\, simultaneously attending the Belfast College of Art. After working in America\, he returned to Ireland to become chief designer for Abbey Stained Glass Studio\, before going out on his own in the late 1970s. \nIn George’s windows the complex glass-leading accommodates an expansive colour palette which reads as bold and primary but in fact ranges over the spectrum with softer hues leavening the strong blues and reds. In his church windows George depicts not just sacred subjects\, but elements addressing a sense of place and time and the everyday lives of the congregation. George has collaborated with several architects to design and decorate new churches\, including the scheme which he executed for the award-winning Holy Family Church in Belfast. \nFinola Finlay\, with her husband Robert Harris\, writes the arts and culture blog Roaringwater Journal (https://roaringwaterjournal.com/). She studies and writes about stained glass for her own blog and for other publications. She is a contributor to the Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass. \nRegister for the event on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/the-sacred-and-the-secular-the-work-of-george-walsh-registration-452967958357 \nFree for GSOI members\, 11.53 for non-members \n

Kiln it will be a series of 3 masterclasses featuring a variety of glass making techniques\, and they will run in tandem with 3 online lectures by internationally renowned glass artists. \n  \nWorkshops\nPainted Glass workshop with Debbie Dawson\n8 & 9 October | 10 – 5 each day | €200 \nThis two day masterclass will explore experimental painting and sandblasting on float glass. Day one we will use oxide and enamel paints with a variety of mark making tools and implements to create a series of abstract images on the surface of the glass. The glass is then fired in a kiln overnight. \nDay two we will explore the sandblasting process where the surface of the glass is abraded to create tonal and textural elements. We will use a variety of resists\, stencils and other materials to achieve expressive\, gestural marks on the glass. \nNo prior experience necessary but please bring some drawings/images to use as inspiration. \nBook tickets via Eventbrite\n \nPâte de Verre workshop with Sophie Longwill\n15 & 16 October | 10 – 5 each day | €200 \nIn this two day masterclass students will learn how to translate their ideas into paper-thin glass using methods inspired by the ancient technique of pâte de verre (glass paste). We will be experimenting with different tools and processes to add texture\, pattern and surface details using finely ground glass powders to create unique and delicate artwork. \nStudents will learn: \n\nMould making and casting\nKiln schedules and programming for firing and slumping\nMixing glass powders to create a unique palette of colours\nPowder printing using found objects and handmade stencils\nCasting small found objects in glass\nHow to translate drawings and paintings into glass\nCreating texture and patterns\nHow to create fusible elements such as stringers and wafers\n\nBook tickets via Eventbrite \nGlass Casting workshop with Eva Reddy\n22 & 23 October | 10 – 5 each day | €200 \nThis two day workshop is designed to introduce participants to the process of glass casting. It is designed for beginners\, although any skill level can be accommodated – whether one wants to brush up on established glass casting skills or use the workshop as a starting point for working with the beautiful material of glass. \nThe workshop will focus on the mould making process for open-face glass casts\, and the programming and set up of the kiln\, as well as health and safety practices for working with glass. Included in this workshop will be demonstrations of safely working with glass\, the mould making process\, clay sculpting\, kiln set-up and clean up\, and mould divestment. \nParticipants will work through a set project\, articulating responses from concept\, design to realisation. \nBook tickets via Eventbrite \n\nThis series of masterclasses is designed for practicing artists only but they need not have had any experience of working with glass. \nAll participants will be contacted ahead of time by the facilitator with an info pack about the workshop\, and what to bring with you for the weekend. Lunch will be provided both days by the NSF. \n  \nLectures\n\nA lecture with Matthew Szösz\nOctober 5th | 6PM | online | free \nMatthew Szösz is a practicing artist and educator known primarily for his inventive processes and innovative use of glass to explore the intersection of material\, aesthetics\, and the poetic. \nSince receiving his MFA(Glass) from Rhode Island School of Design\, been recognized internationally with awards such as the Irvine Borowsky Prize\, the Jutta-Cuny Franz Prize\, and a Tiffany Foundation Grant\, and has completed residencies at the Corning Museum of Glass\, Het Glazenhuis\, the Danish Royal Academy\, Toyama Institute for Glass Arts\, Canberra Glassworks\, Australia National University\, Virginia Commonwealth University and others. \nBook tickets via Eventbrite \n\nA lecture with Sylvia Levenson\nOctober 12th | 6PM | online | free \nOriginally from Buenos Aires\, Argentina\, Silvia Levenson immigrated to Italy in 1981\, during the “disappearances” of the Dirty War . \nIn 2004\, Levenson received the Rakow Commission Award from the Corning Museum of Glass in 2008 she was a shortlisted nominee for the Bombay Sapphire Prize and in 2016 she received The Glass in Venice Award from Istituto Veneto\, Venice\, Italy. \nHer work explores daily interpersonal relationships through installations and objects that state firmly what is usually felt or whispered. \nBook tickets via Eventbrite \n\nA lecture with Alison Lowry\nOctober 19th | 6PM | online | free \nAlison Lowry is a glass artist living and working from her studio\, ‘Schoolhouse Glass’ in Saintfield\, Co. Down in Northern Ireland. She graduated\, as a mature student\, in 2009 from the Ulster University with a First Class Honours degree in Art and Design. \nAlison is interested in how objects tell stories. Objects- such as textiles- can have a personal resonance holding memory within them- the traces of the wearer\, the maker and of the historical period they were created within. The fabric of our lives surrounds and envelops us\, and it is this translation from textile into glass that has informed her practice. \nBook tickets via Eventbrite \n\nAll workshop and lecture links found here – linktr.ee/nationalsculpturefactory

SUMMARY:ReView\, Exhibition and Gathering
DESCRIPTION:The Glass Society of Ireland (GSOI) presents ReView – a unique\, eco-conscious exhibition\, part of our ‘sustainability’ themed programming for the International Year of Glass 2022. \nThe pop-up exhibition will take place on September 10th and 11th across the grounds of Hunting Brook Gardens\, Blessington\, Co. Wicklow. \nThese stunning gardens are made up of five acres of contemporary exotic gardens and fifteen acres of woodland gardens and valley. The exhibition will use minimal resources and only natural light giving new perspectives to existing work through responsive installation. \nTo be considered GSOI members were asked to submit a 2 minute video on what piece of old or unresolved work they wanted to ReView and why. Our final selection was supported by two guest jurors; USA-based artist and former Creative Director of the iconic Pilchuck Glass school Tina Aufiero\, and award-winning gardener and owner of Hunting Brook\, Jimi Blake. \nThe 15 artists selected are: Alison Byrne\, Clare Bowe\, Donna Coogan\, Emer O’Donnell\, Eva Kelly\, Gwyn Grace\, Maresa Edwards\, Marja Huhta\, Michelle Ryan\, Rachel McDonnell\, Róisín de Buitléar\, Sinead Brennan\, Sophie Longwill and Suzanne O’Sullivan. \n  \nGuests are welcome to visit in person on Saturday 10th\, 4pm – 7pm and Sunday 11th\, 11am -3pm. Admission to the garden is normally €8 but during the specially extended hours for this event it’s a ‘pay-what-you-can’ suggested donation. All the artists will be present over the weekend so it is a great chance to meet the maker and learn more about the glass making processes.
