Craft in the Bay
Visit WebsiteExhibition of Glass Artworks
Join us this Spring at Craft in the Bay to see and buy unique, hand made glass that has been designed and made by 26 talented glass artists. A partnership project between the Makers Guild Wales and the Contemporary Glass Society (CGS). 2022 is officially designated by the United Nations as the International Year of Glass! So of course we just had to join in and celebrate our very talented professional artists and designers who are making such fabulous work in glass.
The Artists
Selection for FLOW was made last autumn when artists were invited to respond to the word FLOW. It is fascinating to see the individual interpretations and the high level of skill and craftsmanship. So many different glass working techniques, taken to the highest level in creating original designs. Their interpretation of FLOW has led them to cast forms in molten glass, dazzle us with blown glass techniques, colourful glass painting, stained glass, detailed engraving and skillful construction.
