In this presentation, Reid will offer insight into his artistic journey, including the unveiling of a newly-released film about his work, produced by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. A two-time recipient of the British Glass Biennale People’s Prize, Reid is also an associate of the Royal Society of Sculptors and the current recipient of the Alexander Tutsek Foundation Scholarship. His work captures the essence of metamorphosis, transforming both natural elements and everyday objects into evocative and thought-provoking glass sculptures.
