Bruntnell-Astley Contemporary Glass Exhibition

Bruntnell-Astley presents a ‘Pop-Up’ Gallery of Contemporary glasswork on the 25th till 31st May 2015. 

This exhibition of the finest names in Contemporary Glass will be held in Kingswinford Methodist Church, Kingswinford (near Broadfield House Glass Museum) and will be running alongside the ‘International Festival of Glass Weekend’.

Pop-Up Exhibition Bruntnell Astley

THIS exhibition, organised by Bruntnell-Astley, provides a showcase for a number of glass artists, who, although united by medium, make stylistically diverse work through the use of a range of personal skills and approaches.  The works themselves demonstrate the broad scope of glass forming and decorating techniques and processes, including blowing, kiln-casting, lamp-working, slumping and fusing for shaping the glass, to enamelling, sandblasting and engraving to decorate it.  ‘Editorial from Craft Arts International 2015 ‘

Bruntnell-Astley is based in Stourbridge and is an online glass gallery, featuring a selection of the finest names in contemporary British studio glass.  Click Bruntnell-Astley to visit their website.
