Artist Statement:
By thoughtfully crafting and paying meticulous attention to detail, I invite viewers to reassess their perceptions and acknowledge the artistic qualities inherent in the elements of housewives’ lives. The repetitive nature of household chores mirrors the painstaking process of artistic
creation, akin to the meticulous application of countless engraved dots that remain inconspicuous without light. I cultivate a respect for domestic labor through my work, fostering a heightened appreciation for the commitment, skill, and creativity involved. This artistic exploration serves as a visual reminder and bridges the divide between the domestic realm and the realm of art.”
Artist Statement: “The latest output from our collaborative practice has seen us pair our recently developed modular mould method with kiln-cast glass foam. During the casting process the glass foam froths and swells, filling the mould void and oozing out of the opening. Under pressure, the glass expands lightly into the seams, leaving subtle but present traces of the segmentary nature and digital origins of the mould. Our works demonstrate the technical possibilities within glass casting; they are deliberate attempts to make
objects that challenge the preconception of the glass medium and harness the playful aspect of our collaborative workflow.”
Artist Statement:
“Flying Bird with Seven Lenses” is an attempt to reach the essence of air. It
fascinates me how air is beyond the reach of our sense of sight. With our
eyes, we can detect the existence of air just by observing the movement
around us; by looking at a flying bird we can understand that the air carries
it, but the air itself remains invisible. By harnessing light and glass, I’ve interpreted the movement of a flying bird. The artwork is my first stop-motion animation device that uses free-form hand-blown glass lenses to create a projection of a moving image.”

EVOLUTION 2024: GAS Student Exhibition
As evidenced by the work in this exhibition, our Student Members are working at the leading edge of glass art and design. We received submissions from 14 countries this year: Bulgaria, Canada, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The 2024 Student Exhibition is generously supported by Warm Glass UK.

Artist Statement: As a biracial glass artist of Puerto Rican descent, I merge cultural heritage and personal identity in my craft. Employing glassblowing, flameworking, and stained-glass methods, I translate ancestral narratives into tangible
expressions. I attribute the liminal qualities of glass to the suspension and tension of biracial identity. My work is an investigation into the performance of identity. Examining how we adorn the body, and understanding this as a language, a way of signaling to the world around us. Ultimately, my art invites a visual dialogue, confronting themes of belonging, rejection, colonization, and racism while celebrating the resilience of multicultural narratives.”
Artist Statement: “Huang Xiaozhe grew up under an authoritarian system, where rules were
strict and choices scarce. It was not until adulthood, when she physically
left the environment that she was born into, that she realized wanting
alternatives is not a sin.
Through the process of making, she expresses her struggle between
individual identity and external values. The metal component in the mixed
media ring represents ruthless ruling. The colorful glass serves as a
metaphor for the newborn authentic self, particles of freedom, and the
celebration of an independent identity free from profession, nation,
language, and ideological exclusiveness.”
Artist Statement: “I live in times when everything seems to be turned upside down, and the clock is ticking towards irreversible climate changes. One would think that this would encourage society to make changes, but it’s still difficult to believe that an individual can make a difference. We hope that someone else will solve the problems while we wash our hands of responsibility. Washing hands in the dish symbolizes denial, shedding responsibility for our bad behaviors and problems. While using the dish, it may seem senseless and even funny to us, but isn’t it how we cope with our daily lives?”

TRACE 2024: GAS Green Exhibition
The work showcased in this year’s Green Exhibition touches on sustainable techniques from recycled glass to moldless pâte de verre. We received submissions from 23 countries: Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Colombia, Czechia, Denmark, England, Germany, Hungary, India, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, the Republic of Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Wales.

Artist Statement:
“Historically, domestic waste dumps (middens), were filled with predominantly organic materials which decomposed. Now, plastics leave indelible traces in the rock strata. Today’s culture sees useful appliances and products being discarded prematurely. Core drilling began as a method of sampling rock for ore deposits, mining, and oil exploration. For our project, we dismantle older CRT televisions completely into their base materials of glass, copper, aluminium, steel, and Plastics. We melt, cast, forge, press, grind, polish, and machine these materials and piece them back together to emulate mining core samples using the entirety of each television.”
Artist Statement: “As a researcher and maker in sustainable material development, I’m interested in creating glass artefacts inspired by primitive glass making and working
with local/waste resources, with as little impact on the environment as possible. The design behind my pieces is inspired by the materials used to make them and place of origin. This way of making glass is a lost art, but has exciting opportunities to revive the threatened industry. The process
involved is considered an artform in itself, combining historic techniques with scientific development in material production.”
Artist Statement:
“Trees are more valuable than Gold! In our new body of work, we embraced the recent decade of growing awareness of climate vulnerability, transformed our studio to produce 100% sustainable artwork, and now use our glass art to drive awareness of the climate emergency. This series consists of trees, coated in gold leaf and gold dust, captured in glass orbs representing the invaluable role of trees in nature. We play on the dichotomy of gold and trees asking the audience to think about which is more valuable to human existence.”
Artist Statement: “The unadvised, forbidden, or to-be-avoided, are aspects I search for. I use these unwanted qualities of glass as core value of my works, questioning the validity of such advises, reflecting on the creativity that can be achieved when these walls are demolished. In my search for new expressions, I often find myself building a machine, or
testing something that has a potential of brutally failing. But, most of the time there is something exciting among the results, something novel maybe. And that small thing is what keeps me moving.”
Artist Statement: “By using lampworking techniques, I want to allow the material to run freely, without imposing anything to it. For that, my work is clearly inspired by water, because there is a permanent exploration of the similarities between this element and glass-like material. In my work I propose recreating the static moments of the moving water, allowing them to achieve their own nature. I want to do a tribute to water, one of the four elements, primordial essence of nature, in danger of extinction, as a means of preserving its image through a timeless material like glass.”
