Glass articles - Scottish Glass General |
The highly successful conference had 3 parallel streams of lectures covering Archaeology, History, Paperweights, Stained Glass, Crafts and Contemporary Glass Art. It was the UK's largest ever glass conference. Including demonstrations of paperweight making, hot glass work and engraving attended by well over 100 glass lovers, students and makers.
We will be bringing more articles and pictures about this special celebration as soon as possible. In the meantime there is still plenty to be experienced in Scotland for glass lovers during the rest of this 400th Anniversary year.
Presented by: Jill Turnbull - Glass Historian, Author of "The Scottish Glass Industry, 1610-1750"
This paper is intended to give an overview of the history of industrial glassmaking in Scotland, from its start in 1610 to the closure of Edinburgh Crystal in 2006, focussing on domestic glass, but also looking at bottle and window glass production. Illustrated with photographs of glass known to have been made in Scotland and material from archives, pattern books, catalogues and paintings, it will chart the achievements and the failures of one of the most enduring of Scottish industries.
Presented by: Alison Kinnaird - Glass Artist
Alison Kinnaird will talk about the 'Glass Hotel' - the Hotel Murano in Tacoma, Washington, USA, where a number of international glass artists were commissioned to create works, specifically for this award-winning hotel, where the interior design is focussed entirely on art glass.

Born in 1949, Alison Kinnaird studied first at Edinburgh University, from where she graduated with a degree in Celtic studies and archaeology. She studied glass engraving under Harold Gordon in 1969 before being taught by Helen Munro Turner at Edinburgh College of Art in 1970/71. She has worked freelance since 1971. Some of her earliest engravings were done on glass produced by John Airlie, including the Titania Trophy for George Watson's College in Edinburgh. Her work has been exhibited worldwide and can be found in many major public and private collections. In addition to being a glass engraver of enormous talent, she is also a highly acclaimed clarsach player. A clarsach is a small harp. |

Presented by: Derek Carter - Collector/Writer. Committee member Paperweight Collectors Circle.
Paperweight making in Scotland started at the Holyrood Glassworks but as paperweights went out of fashion, production ceased. Some decades later, during WW1, Salvador Ysart (a Spanish glassmaker) and his family arrived in Scotland. Although hired to make complex laboratory ware they soon became involved in decorative glassware. Paul Ysart, the eldest son was an artist in a family of glass craftsmen and he developed paperweights as decorative rather than functional items. After a family split, he took the art form into new areas and to new heights, inspiring many of his subsequent apprentices to achieve world class status as paperweight makers. Paul and his family's influence shaped Scottish paperweight making and this illustrated talk shows how it evolved.
I have been collecting paperweights, mainly Scottish, for about 10 years. I am a committee member of the Paperweight Collectors Circle (PCC) and am its archivist. I write paperweight articles for two UK paperweight and two glass newsletters and also the PCA bulletin in the USA. I am presently creating a video archive of all current UK glass artists who make paperweights.
Presented by: Brian Blench - Formerly Keeper of Decorative Arts, Glasgow Museums.
Helen Monro Turner was the dominant figure in the development of the glass industry in Scotland during the second half of the last century. Her career will be outlined from her early work at Edinburgh Crystal through her studies in Germany which led to the establishment of the glass department at ECA. The department's growth over the last 70 years will be followed and the major contribution of its students to the contemporary glass scene examined.
Presented by: Siobhan Healy - Glass artsist, Hon. Secretary of the Scottish Glass Society.
This illustrated talk will discuss the use of specific forms found in nature and the related symbolism as the design source for glasswork. Siobhan will also discuss selected key artistic movements which developed the use of symbolic natural form in glass design. Siobhan will show how these sources have influenced her contemporary glass-work.
Unfortunately, Siobhan was obliged to attend a Commonwealth games rehearsal and unable to attend the conference, Siobhan said...
"I was performing in the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth games which involved highland dancing and a revolving armadillo!...check out footage on youtube if interested! Link to Youtube video
"The intention of this illustrated talk was to show the use of specific forms found in nature and the related symbolism as the design source for glasswork. I also intended to discuss selected key artistic movements which developed the use of symbolic natural form in glass design and I was to show how these sources have influenced my contemporary glass-work.
Specifically, i was to discuss the use of the golden ratio and also specific forms such as spirals and whiplash designs in the design process. Futhermore, I was to discuss the use of traditional religious symbolism using natural form in a modern context."

Presented by: Dave Moir - Master glassmaker and paperweight maker
Dave Moir remembrances of his teacher and one of Scotland's important glass masters, Jack Allan, who was trained by Salvador Ysart. Little is known about the work that Jack Allan produced from his days at Vasart to his involvement in Caithness's Oban works, other than snippets in paperweight books.

Presented by: Geoffrey Seddon - Author of “The Jacobites and Their Drinking Glasses”
The emphasis will be on the 1745 Jacobite rebellion, its origin, its progress and its influence on Scotland. It ended in the Battle of Culloden, the last battle to be fought on British soil. The engraved drinking glasses commemorating these events will be discussed and illustrated with slides. The problems related to the wheel-engraved glasses, of which there are many fakes, will be outlined. The rare diamond point engraved 'Amen' glasses, which are among the most valuable of any 18th century glass, will be discussed in detail including the identification, in the last 25 years, of a number of very convincing copies. Read what was announced in Geoffrey's talk in the article Has the creator of the Jacobite ‘Amen’ glasses been revealed? |
Presented by: Patricia Niemann - Glass Artist
Patricia Niemann's speciality is body adornment with hot glass components. The German trained goldsmith and gemstone and jewellery designer is interested in sculptural work, that is wearable and challenges the traditional perception of jewellery. The human body is central to her work, which is inspired by human fears, funeral archaeology, decay - and humour.
This talk will be of interest to anyone interested in contemporary and unusual uses of handmade glass.
Patricia was trained in hot glass at Edinburgh College of Art and Pilchuck Glass School and in kilnforming as an intern at Bullseye Glass Co. Portland, Oregon. She works from her own studio and as an instructor at Northlands Creative Glass in the Far North of Scotland.

The making of a paperweight using Venetian canework by the Vetro a Reticello method. If hot colour is available, a semi-overlay will be applied. This weight is technically difficult and usually takes about 40 minutes to complete. If time is left I could demonstrate one or two simpler designs typical of a Caithness unlimited edition design. Images from Alastair's demonstration can be seen here including images of the weight after later being facetted. ECA technician Derek Walls assisted Alastair. |

Presented by: Stephen Pollock-Hill - President of British Glass 2010, Chairman of The British Glass Education Trust, and curator of the Museum of 20th Century British Domestic Glass.
The talk will concentrate on the two major Scottish companies Edinburgh Crystal (formerly Edinburgh and Leith) and Caithness Glass, and how they ventured down south at Kings Lynn and Stourbridge, and where perhaps they lost their way, as well as touching on Vasart, Monart and Moncrieff.
Mention will be made of bottle making in Scotland, past and present.
The speaker visited their factories and knew well senior management and their range of products and will show illustrations of a few pieces from his museum collection.
Presented by: Susan Bradbury - Stained glass artist and conservator.
A look at the variety of work in a present-day stained glass studio, with an emphasis on the types of glass used.
Our largest commission was for a window bigger than a tennis court, we made 14 stained glass ceilings for the Leeds Building Society and an overhead canopy of etched and laminated glass for Marks & Spencer. We have more than once had the wonderful opportunity to design a scheme of stained glass to fill an entire church.
There will be examples of the conservation of historic glass as well as modern designs due for completion this year.

Presented by: Andy Nowson - Collector and researcher. Author of Guide to Caithness Glass Paperweight Production - The First 40 Years. (Shortly to be published)
A whirlwind tour of over 40 years of paperweight making at Caithness Glass, starting from Paul Ysart's arrival
and some of his weights, through Colin Terris' adventures in design to Helen MacDonald - the Queen of Design at CG.
Topics include the factory locations and company ownership, and the volumetric rise in production over the years, followed by the 'difficult years';
Presented by: Simon Cottle - Head of British & European Glass, Bonhams London, and President of the Glass Circle
An important yet short renaissance of the European art of decorating glass with coloured enamels occurred in Britain during the second half of the 18th century. It produced some of the finest and best known decorative drinking glasses now in public collections around the world. A handful of notable and impressive heraldic examples with Scottish connections have survived. Whilst the origins of some of these glasses are undoubtedly English, especially produced by the Beilby workshop in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, several may have been decorated by one or more enamellers working in Scotland with connections to the Beilbys. The evidence is to be revealed.

Jessamy Kelly will talk about her Master’s scholarship at Edinburgh Crystal and the routes she has since taken which have brought her back full circle to Edinburgh College of Art. In 2002, Jessamy completed her Masters in ‘Glass Design’ at Edinburgh College of Art. This involved an Industrial placement at Edinburgh Crystal as a student glass designer. This opportunity allowed her to develop a creative and experimental approach within the reality of a commercial environment. She then went on to work as an in-house glass designer for Edinburgh Crystal until 2006, when the business closed. She continues to work on a freelance basis as a glass designer for industry; this collaboration informs and influences her studio work in a unique and innovative way. Jessamy has recently returned to Edinburgh College of Art as an artist in residence where she is currently working on a new range of art glass. |

Presented by: Louise Tait - Glass artist and a Director of North Lands Creative Glass.
It started as a glimmer of hope and an enormous amount of faith, back in 1996 when North Lands Creative Glass ran its first Masterclass with renowned Swedish artist Bertil Vallien.
Dan Klein, North Lands founding director described the facilities on offer then as “almost embarrassingly basic”. Now fourteen years and dozens of Masterclasses later, the Scottish centre is a proud beacon to artists all over the world.
Set in the breathtaking Caithness landscape, it has enticed artists from as far afield as South Korea, South Africa and Colombia to the tiny fishing village of Lybster to expand their knowledge and to stretch the boundaries of glass as a medium for artistic expression.
Last year sadly saw the passing of Dan Klein and although he is sorely missed, his death has only redoubled the board and staff’s commitment to ensure the future of this remarkable centre of excellence that he started.
So, what is the secret of North Lands’ success and what does the future have in store?

Presented by: Nigel Benson - Dealer/Writer/Researcher and Owner of 20th Century Glass, which was established in June 1986.
Nigel has also been a glass collector for some 35 years, always trying to identify the unsung before it is generally recognised. He enjoys finding what, at the time, would be regarded as the obscure, and researching the subject, such as the glass ware produced by Hailwood & Ackroyd. Nigel has curated an exhibition covering Nazeing Glass and its history through to current production, and several on British Cut Glass of the 20th century, concentrating on the restrained or designer pieces. He has been a consultant for Millers and wrote a pocket book for them “Glass of the 50’s & 60’s, A Collector’s Guide”. In July 2009 he was invited by Auction Atrium to be their 20th century glass consultant.
Occasionally, the question of what glass may, or may not, be considered part of the Studio Glass Movement comes to mind. There are a number of reasons to ponder the possibility that the family of glassblowers, the Ysarts, might be considered early studio glass makers, whether through the conditions they worked in, the style of glass made, or the correlation between their products and items produced by later designer makers in the last quarter of the 20th century. The talk will discuss the possibility that we might include the Ysarts within this area of glass production using illustrations of their work and a number of items by contemporary designers.
Presented by: Helen MacDonald - Helen trained as an engraver with Caithness glass in Wick, before moving to Perth and becoming Lead Designer. Helen’s paperweights are highly sought after by collectors worldwide, and she has been a regular exhibitor with the Scottish Glass Society.
A personal reflection on the history and process of glass design at Caithness Glass from 1974 – 2008. Helen will explore the role of the designer in a studio factory process, and the symbiotic relationship between glass designer and maker. It is often forgotten that Caithness glass paperweights were each entirely handmade, sometimes in small editions, sometimes in large production runs. Designers were responsible not only for the initial creative idea and the creation of special tools and processes needed to realise that idea in hot glass, but also worked side-by-side with highly-skilled makers developing new techniques to ensure the design could be accurately realised.

Presented by: Julie L. Sloan - A stained-glass consultant in North Adams, MA.USA. She has worked in stained glass since 1982 and is the author of Conservation of Stained Glass in America and many articles on stained glass history and conservation. She is an adjunct professor of historic preservation at Columbia University. She curated an exhibition and wrote a major book on the leaded glass of Frank Lloyd Wright, Light Screens: The Complete Leaded-Glass Windows of Frank Lloyd Wright published by Rizzoli International (2000). Her conservation and research projects have won many awards, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Samuel Kress Foundation, the Graham Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, and the Arts & Crafts Fund.
Scholars have long noted the stylistic similarities between the stained glass of Frank Lloyd Wright and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Although their lives and work were parallel, Wright and Mackintosh had little knowledge of each other’s work. Both responded to a zeitgeist that was also felt by artists and designers of the English Arts & Crafts Movement and the Vienna Secession. Both took elements from the popular styles of Art Nouveau, the Aesthetic Movement, and the Arts & Crafts Movement and combined them in their own characteristic ways. We will look at their stained glass designs and how they used stained glass in architecture.

Presented by: Rachel Elliott - Glass artist utilising a number of glass techniques including, kiln-forming & casting, screen-printing, traditional painting & flame working.
The 35mm slide is dead, long live the USB stick! The digital age is upon us and rather than something to be feared and skeptical about, can prove to be an unequivocal marketing tool to any artist at any stage of their career. Rachel take us on a whistle-stop tour of her online presence and campaigns, discussing their level of difficulty, merits and commitment. As with any marketing, it’s value often echoes the effort put into it, but with so much commerce taking place without buyer or seller even leaving their desk, the economic repercussions cannot be ignored.

Presented by: Gordon McFarlan - Researcher. Director UK Board, Bonhams
My talk will examine the output of the community of copper-wheel engravers active in Edinburgh in the 1850-1900 period. I will examine the relationship between the Holyrood Glassworks of John Ford and co, the retailing firm of John Miller and Co and the engraving studio of J H B Millar, (no relation), which at its height employed some thirty men. The work of Millar himself will be examined along with the work of other known engravers including Adolph Melzer, Augustine Storch, as well as Miller’s son Alexander Millar, whose work extended to the production of cameo glass. The possibility that Franz Tieze, the Dublin-based engraver best known for the faking Irish Volunteer glasses worked in Edinburgh will also be examined.
Presented by: Max Stewart (SGS Chairman) and Jessamy Kelly (SGS Vice Chair)
The Scottish Glass Society (SGS) will talk about their recent projects, including the 2009-2010 touring Exhibition ‘Migrate: 30 years of Scottish Glass’; which showcased some of the best emerging and established Scottish glass artists. They will also introduce their plans for future SGS exhibitions and projects and their continuing aim to advance the public appreciation and awareness of glass making as an art form. The Scottish Glass Society is an artist-led, not-for-profit organisation with a mission to champion the work of glass artists in Scotland. It is a membership organisation of glassmakers, collectors, historians and enthusiasts, which was established in 1979. |

In the past, one of the factors that led to the decline of the high art form of stained glass was the invention of coloured enamels that could be fired onto the surface of clear glass, like coloured glazes in pottery. This enabled artists to create paintings on glass without the need for the lead lines that separated one colour from another.
Among other factors, such as changing tastes in architecture, wars and religious fervor, this pale imitation of stained glass led to a decline and even the loss of the methods use to create the "pot metal" and "flashed" glasses. These methods were rediscovered in the Gothic Revival period in the mid 1800's.
We are currently in a situation where the production of mouth blown sheet glass is under threat.
A huge amount of art and decorative glass is being produced at the moment but the specter of enameling by silkscreen and spray painting has reappeared threatening the production of high quality glass in Europe.
My talk is a comparison between the qualities of stained glass and enameled glass.

Presented by: Eric Hilton - ECA Graduate. Designer for Steuben Glass, US. Major architectural commissions in the US.
The talk would draw parallels between the dictates of commercial and industrial needs with the freedoms and challenges present in ones own conceptual world. There is a reciprocity between these environments which can nurture creativity. Drawing is a vital component of my work as is photography and video. I would propose to selectively illustrate the talk with visual imagery showing inspirational influences.
For myself Art is one of the foundations of the life experience. It can represent the soul of human consciousness. We decipher it like a code in order to communicate with our ancestral memories. Life's responses are gradually honed by time whereas technical processes are learned. Materials are chosen to transfer thought into visual substance. A sense of illusion for myself is omnipresent. Much is based on nature's gifts. It is my feeling that our genetic code harbours distant echoes of our evolutionary past. The romantic view of the natural world is balanced by its uncompromising reality. Art gives a profound meaning to life as it communicates to us through all human history. One must remain open to the vast labyrinth of experience. Our challenge is that intelligence is the wild card. I will integrate these thoughts into the relationship of living between the US and Scotland, designing for industry, Steuben Glass and maintaining my own studio to explore ones own creative potential.
Presented by: Mike Hunter - Glass Artist
At Twists Studio Glass, Mike produces designs with cane-working techniques, creating traditional contemporary glassware styles based on the designs of 16th and 17th century Venice and 18th century England.

Shiona Airlie studied history of art at Edinburgh University and then took a postgraduate diploma in art gallery and museum studies at the University of Manchester. She worked as exhibitions officer in Edinburgh before moving to Glasgow to set up the touring exhibition programme there. The daughter of a glassmaker, her final post in Glasgow was as curator of the Dutch and the Glass collections. She left that post to become the first Director of the National Glass Centre in Sunderland. She retired due to ill health in 1998. She now maintains her interest in glass by contributing to scotlandsglass.co.uk, and has volunteered her expertise to assist in the 2010 celebrations. She also writes on Sino-British history and has published two books and numerous papers on the subject, as well as many biographical dictionary entries. A third biography has recently been commissioned from her.
Frank Andrews' background is in electronics, publishing and commercial computer software for global companies. In 1984, his research into Scottish glass led to the formation of a collectors club, which published six newsletters and, in turn, to him co-authoring Ysart Glass (1990), a book about decorative glass made by the Spanish Ysart family in Perth from 1924 to 1964. Since the late 1990s, Frank has been an information provider for glass collectors building the encyclopaedic website Ysartglass.com. For the last few years, he has been creating the Scotland's Glass website as a homage to all involved in the world of glass but with Scottish roots. As well as many other glass sites, see debook.com. The intention that the site be a community initiative is slowly being realised, as more people get actively involved through their common interest. In 2005, he organised a successful conference in Perth that explored the impact of the Ysart family on the Scottish Glass industry.
Both have given hundrerds of hours to make this years anniversary happen and the conference work.
