Heathfield School Glass Project

We have on display some of the glasswork made by Heathfield School GCSE Art pupils this year.

The project began back in January with a demonstration and practise sessions at the local Worcestershire school.

The students created designs in their Art department, as part of their GCSE Art subject curriculum. The students then attended a series of workshops at our studio to make their fused glass bowls.

The work will be on display at the Ruskin Glass Centre in Stourbridge till the end of January 2014.

Monika Mihalyfi – Ceramic Stars

Artist In Residence – Bevere Gallery Exhibition

‘Artist in Residence’ Monika Mihalyfi has been selected to show her new work  ‘Glowing Vessels’ at the prestigious Worcestershire Bevere Gallery.

This new body of work  is a series of contemporary hand-thrown ceramic vessels made of porcelain.  In daylight they stand pure white and in the dark when lit from within they glow illuminating the patterns.

I was greatly inspired by the phenomenon, when the sky is hazy although no clearly defined clouds to be seen and the Sun trying to break through. The purity of this image taken me many times and slowly made the connection in me with the image of light, as they say or how I imagined, supposed to see through meditation. It also made the connection how porcelain looks with light behind.

Through my Glowing Vessels I intend to express or recall this image, the purity and purifying nature of Light… with that also inspire to wake the Light within us…MM
