THE diversity and range of artistic glass work in Scotland are to be highlighted in two new free exhibitions.
The events at the Trades Hall, Glasgow, are part of 40th anniversary celebrations for the Scottish Glass Society, which bring together some of the country’s most innovative artists.
On The Edge will showcase work from 18 artists, including Alison Kinnaird – one of the world’s leading glass artists and engravers. Her work is housed in public, royal and private collections throughout Europe.
In addition to On The Edge, there will also be an open exhibition by Scottish Glass Society members on the theme of celebration.
“I’m delighted that we are continuing the celebration of our 40th year with two free exhibitions at Trades Hall, Glasgow,” said society chair Catherine Lowe. “What you will see is a vibrant and diverse group of highly visual work all using glass as the primary artistic material.
“The Scottish Glass Society is a registered charity and we champion the work of Scotland-based artists. Our membership includes artists who studied here, have Scottish connections, a keen interest in glass art associated with Scotland, or who simply want to be a part of the society.”
“We are grateful to the generous support provided by Creative Scotland and a number of individual trust funds who have donated to the Scottish Glass Society’s 40th anniversary celebrations.”
The exhibitions run at the Trades Hall from September 18-25, but Lowe added that people can also enjoy them as they go on tour across Scotland from September 30 until the end of the year.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
