There is a range of fascinating exhibitions associated with the Festival this year at a variety of venues, some more surprising than others.
These include:
The International Sculpture Garden at Ruskin Glass Centre
'Danger of the Image': Glass Dresses by Diana Dias-Lećo at Broadfield House Glass Museum
International Beadmakers Exhibition "The Tempest" in the Glasshouse Coffee Shop
Glass Routes Exhibition at Bilston Craft Gallery
'Wall of Glass' An exhibition of traditionally painted, stained glass panels by graduates from the International Glass Centre of Dudley College
'Crystal Canvas' The Guild of Glass Engravers' exhibition of international contemporary engraved glass at Red House Glass Cone
Glasshouse College Students Annual Exhibition of glasswork and other crafts
The Annual 'Love Glass' exhibition at Red House Glass Cone
A retrospective exhibition of Michael Harris, the founder of Mdina Glass
and of course the showpiece exhibition of the festival:
Held at Ruskin Glass Centre in the stunning former glassworks of Webb Corbett and Royal Doulton, the Biennale is the foremost exhibition of excellence in contemporary glass by artists, designers and craftspeople currently working in Britain. It is justifiably the highlight of the International Festival of Glass, launched in 2004 in the heart of Stourbridge's historic Glass Quarter. Around 150 major new glass works from British artists are selected, making this a highly significant statement of national glass talent.
The Call For Entries, announced earlier in the year, has attracted more interest than the previous two events, aided by additional prize monies and new prizes offered by the Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers.
To see the list of selected artists please visit the Biennale website.
