It has been a real struggle finding local glass working facilities. Having done an AA2A residency at De Montfort University Leicester in 2018 I had hoped to work with their brilliant Glass Technician, Jill Ellinsworth again but unfortunately this would only be possible through academic further education courses. I then looked into Dudley College who offer access but on condition that individuals are experienced in working with hot glass. Finally some good news, I had contacted Wolverhampton University last year and they say the short courses that were in the pipeline may well start this September! Not only that but apparently it is the international year of glass and the International Festival and Biennial of Glass is happening in Stourbridge!! After all the places I have looked at, Stourbridge is practically on my doorstep!
Ecology NOW
This A-N Bursary Time Space Money will allow me to work closely with Lapworth staff responding innovatively to the museum’s fossil collections. It will enable me to explore the environmental potential within my work through collaboration and learning new techniques.
